Is that enough to mitigate how much worse bare Google is than it was ten years ago, back when they were winning against SEO bots? In my experience, it hasn't been, but I've not done enough AI-aided web searches to have a good sample size.

When I'm starting from zero or worse with incorrect or half baked information, I'm one or two queries from a solid start point.

By comparison using Google, I will have to wade through all the sponsored results then all the SEO results. Then who knows how many pages I'm going to have to start clicking on and reading to see if it pertains to what I'm searching for, which it usually isn't.

All that bullshit has evaporated for me.

I travel a lot and I have a lot of interactions with people from other places who work in other fields and/or disciplines and it can get hairy.

[edit] and all that covers multilingual words to boot.
