   Google’s monopoly ruined what search engines could’ve been, and now AI is making it worse.

     @adamconover Have you tried Perplexity? It feels like what Google should have done with their AI search.

     Still would like to find a search engine that works like they used to.

     Been following you for years on YouTube ❤️

     @adamconover Google solved a real problem with its search engine. It leveraged this into one of the most fantastically lucrative inventions in history. But it's always been an arms race, and Google is now losing. Similarly, the fediverse could become a victim of its own success if it becomes too valuable of a medium. The fediverse's relative obscurity is working in its favor right now, but the real test of its viability is to come.

     @adamconover

     does that mean a gap has opened up for a new quality search engine?

     @adamconover You'll endlessly enjoy the convenience of regurgitation, for the low price of your mind.

     Heard Kagi still offers a classic web experience, for a monetary cost.
