>Google could have been an advertising company with a search engine. I'm glad they aren't.

They kind of are though?

Like, there is indeed amazing research supported by the company. The core user facing products are really declining in quality by being user hostile.

A search right now results in a made up LLM output followed by 4 ads disguised as content, and then maybe followed by the wanted result.

I’m not sure what happens inside the company for those two things to be true at once.
