    The wealthy want AI to be treated as actual intelligence when it is just a machine that spits out the words that its owner allows.

    I got one for “how long has the president had dementia?”

    very funny for a search engine, I can see why it did this but it’s going like “nobody has dementia. JOE BOIDDEN HOWEVAH…”

    Dude was never an intellectual powerhouse but even before the election is was painfully obvious he was getting worse.

    There’s that new video about trump having CHF, and a real diagnosis for CVI that went under the radar a few years back. They can certainly be related to each other. He’s definitely got real health problems.

    I’m actually surprised people still heavily use Google search.

    Not for some tech snob snark reason, but because it’s unusable.

    I only ever go back to Google if I’m really desperate, and I can’t recall the last time it ever delivered me a result I considered useful.

    It’s all SEO AI spam, and those are the web results Google returns only after all of its own AI and shopping bloat.

    Completely useless.

      The thing to understand is that… people are barely searching these days. The vast majority of people are fully dependent on The Algorithm to tell them what they want to see whether that is a youtube video or a reddit/facebook post or whatever. Google is for quick questions, not reading articles or getting educated on a topic. And… gemini is not horrible for those quick answers. And when it IS horrible, people don’t actually care. And the rest is SEO hell to whatever the first fandom wiki result is.

      As someone who still very much DOES search for things on the regular? I have some concerns with the company (mostly they seem like bog standard tech bro “freedom of speech” libertarians) but damned if I don’t love Kagi. Feels like the internet I grew up with combined with the ability to prioritize or block websites (see: first fandom wiki result) and a halfway decent LLM for those “quick question” searches.

        I mostly use DDG, but sometimes searx.

        Startpage returns similarly dubious results as Google, but with the built-in proxy functionality and no clutter, so it’s also in the rotation.

        Duck is powered by bing and does not block all microsoft trackers with whom they have a partnership.

        Bookmark trusted websites and sources and accept that almost all alternative search engines use google/bing, are compromised.

        If you are particularly paranoid run your own searxng instance on a anonymously owned server.

    This brings up something that has been bothering me for awhile. It’s really been bothering me that when I look up an opinion Gemini will tell me whether my opinion is right or wrong. I knew it would be ripe for abuse.

    I had a distrust of google from the get-go back in 1998… no joke. I used yahoo for many years (and yes, I am aware that Yahoo and MSN are not much better in privacy terms) since it had a lot more than just searches. yahoo news was my main source of internet news for a long time in the very early 2000s.

      Honestly don’t understand this to the point I suspect you’re lying or stretching the truth. Search engines were awful in the 90s for a lot of reasons that Google’s technology solved.it took another 5-10 years for capitalism to catch up and make their relationship with the tech more symbiotic

    Kagi AI will answer

    Some psychiatrists and psychologists have speculated that Donald Trump may be exhibiting signs of dementia. These concerns have been raised by experts who point to his public appearances and statements as evidence of cognitive decline. Factors such as his age (nearly 80) and a family history of dementia have also been mentioned as contributing to these concerns

    Specifically, some have identified “four signs” of dementia that they believe Trump is showing. One of these signs mentioned is confabulation, which is described as “honest lying” or memory lapses, and is considered a potential indicator of dementia

    However, it is worth noting that one report indicated Trump was assessed for cognitive function, which was found to be normal. Despite this, questions about his mental acuity persist among some observers

    Asked DDG the same question and its AI doesn’t seem to hide from it, fwiw.

    Concerns about Donald Trump’s cognitive health have been raised, with some experts suggesting he exhibits signs of dementia, including verbal slips and unusual behavior. His niece has also expressed worries about his mental decline, indicating that he may be “losing it every day.”

    with The EconomicTimes and healthandme.com listed as its sources.

    Also notable is that ~80% of the top hits are sites suggesting that he does have dementia, the remainder being resources on the topic. YMMV

        I just tried it with other active politicians (“Pelosi”) and it answered. Granted, it said there were no credible reports

        Why would it refuse to say anything if I search for Trump, but answer with another prominent politician who is in office?
