The problem with WWW was that in a graph, you needed to find a way to rank the nodes. That was PageRank and it was the right tool for the right problem. When AI tries to do that, it essentially consumes a "curated list" of pages and sounds knowledgeable to fool the ordinary man. That's not search, it's just more of the "curated content" that we're forced to consume every day.

I remember search being excellent about 10-15 years back. Does anybody know what ruined it?
I find it hard to Google stuff anymore, the AI helps even if it has a tendency to be wrong/inaccurate 20-25% of the time. It's pretty helpful when I'm asking a question that has a binary answer.

Similar liability issues are waiting in store for others (doctors, lawyers, engineers, accountants, etc.) who willingly choose to rely on a tool that produces flawed results on a fairly consistent basis.

Honestly, Ai is the only good way to search the internet anymore, but with my agent looking through the results from multiple search engines, visiting pages, and synthesizing the results into an answer. Google search overview sucks by comparison
