This short article documents the decline of Google search (the once-useful tool has become so encrusted with advertising it's impossible to find the useful results). Steven Vaughan-Nichols identifies the major competitor not as Bing but as the AI search engine Perplexity. "AI answers are still wrong far too often for you to rely on. But, armed with the research Perplexity used to come up with those answers, you can work out the real answers." There's still a lot of improving to do, and we may never return to the glory days when Google could (or world) find anything, but at least we can hope for something better than what we have now.
