Yesterday I tried to google "can the Halifax Wanderers still make the CPL playoffs?"
So obviously what appears right at the top is the AI summary, which told me "they've already secured their #4 position and made the playoffs". I knew this wasn't true, and I guess I could have just scrolled down a bit further and found my answer but now I was curious.
So I said "that's not true, they're still #5, what I want to know is _could they still make the playoffs_"
It says they've got an upcoming game against Ottawa, and if they win their chances are good. That game has already taken place, so I correct it again and finally I get a reasonable answer.
My question is: what's the point of the AI in the search engine if it itself isn't going to use the search engine first before answering? Like, I can't wrap my head around that. The answer is on the same page as its hallucination. It could have done a cursory look around before first hallucinating something completely false, and when corrected the first time giving me outdated information. It's meant to be A SEARCH ENGINE!
The gogol agenda of blocking and excluding all web engines not part of their whatwg cartel is moving forward, at a slow pace, steathly.
gogol search was blocked to all noscript/basic HTML browsers last year. I recall people that a few years before, they removed their gmail basic HTML interface not long after that their account creation (then login) would require one the abominations of the whatwg cartel.
I have been working around the gogol search engine since then and my email is now self hosted without DNS (IPv6 literals, see RFC). Yeah, most DNS registrars are now gated by the whatwg cartel web engines in some way, this is the net effect of big corpos toxic behavior.
