I think this problem will get worse because many websites that's used for "your own research" will lose human traffic to watch ads and more bots just scraping their data, reducing motivation to keep the websites running. Most people just take the least resistant path so AI search will be the default soon I think
Yes, I hate this timeline
It's so annoying because you're correct. I'm finding it harder and harder to use a search engine for things. Hell, the web in general is becoming unusable. It's all shit.
rant
here's my pesonal gripe. Imagine looking for a solution to a problem and find a reddit thread in your search engine of choice. Wording in the description seems to match your exact issue and it's one of the first results. You click on it and...
What i'd do to that smug fuck if I ever got my hands on him aside, me behind a VPN and deleted reddit account can't find the answer. But i can go to chatgpt without logging in to answer my fucking queries and it does it with more efficiency than looking at random sites for things, which most of the time are just sloppy shitty mirrors of Stack Overflow or Quora that BLATANTLY copy content from those websites and just use slightly better SEO...
Also, reddit did this in because of the API shit they pulled. AND THEN THEY SOLD FUCKING ACCESS TO GOOGLE. So me, a fucking person (as far as I know anyway), isn't privileged enough to view the fucking crumbs of information that google just fucking gobbles on a daily basis. Fuck that. This is a move that makes me feel less important than my fucking roomba.
I just feel so mad. I want the old web back. I just want my duckduckgo to work well.
Sorry for the rant.
Same here.

Eventually they will pay AI companies to integrate advertisements into the llm's outputs.
Omg I can see it happening. Instead of annoying intrusive ads, this new type will be so natural as if your close friend is suggesting it.
More dystopian future. Yes we need it /s
