The comedy is that Google can’t figure out when to vomit a search result instead of a bot chat: halfway through asking follow-up if you do use the chatbot, it’ll just shit a search result, laden with ads, and nothing else. But at that point you’re asking follow-up questions that should use RAG in the back-end; you’re not looking for “2012 search but with shittier results”. At the same time, I’d seen responses to complex “find me a badminton court near a subway stop that is open early Saturday” queries with a response telling me to go search; when, bitch, you’re the fucking search engine so YOU do it.
