Google will have to resort to human curation of search results at some point.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Given that Google search only returns like 9 websites now, shouldn't be too hard.

Google sucks now, use duckduckgo or something else.

Been using Duckduckgo for a few years now and found it very good, although it's also on the downward SEO ruined path. Have tried Google occasionally and wow is it juat completely full of crap.

Yes but if they want an AI to index it, first it would have to figure out what an index is ;-)
