I hate to admit it, but I've recently started using Yandex for searches. When searching for very specific topics (combined with my ADD), I've found that a Google search can be almost more distracting from my goal than browsing on TikTok.<p>Yesterday, I updated my Bard account to Gemini Advanced (fool me once, fool me twice). Bard was decent as a complement to comparing or going back and forth in conversations with ChatGPT. Somehow, they made it worse. While using Gemini, I also reverted back to old habits and was using Google search again. I feel like it gets worse and worse every day, not so much exponentially but like the square-cube law (The square-cube law, in the context of ship sizes, often referred to in naval architecture and marine engineering, is a principle based on the fact that as a ship's dimensions are increased, its volume and weight grow disproportionately compared to its surface area.)<p>Or, as Google gets twice as greedy, they get 4x as bad.
