Frankly, it's shocking to me how manipulated search engines are these days. With all the monkeying around, the results between Google, Bing and DDG are all over the board.
Yandex is coming on strong in market-share, but it's still spotty which I think is just due to normal development issues.
The really bad part of all this is that very, very few people are aware of any of it. Whatever comes up in their search engine of choice is "the truth".
The next step are AI chatbots like ChatGpt. Where it's literally just one answer. Many already ditched the search engine and rely completely on chat bots for answers.
If there's one thing that's worse than using TikTok for search, asking a chatbot for the truth would be it.
Someone (I think it was John Dvorak from No Agenda) asked one of them, "When did James Kirk become a commodore?". He got some answer. Then he asked the exact same question again and got a different answer. Then he asked again and got yet a third answer. No human would ever do such a thing, ever.
I mean, I thought Flat Earth was the most audacious psyop to date, but this whole "AI = superior electronic intelligence" is far worse and far more dangerous.
