Welp, it’s official: Google Search is useless.

Yeah, yeah. Welcome to the party, pal.

Go look up “Dawn of Justice: At The Evil Gates.” …Yes, yes, it’s AI slop, obviously. The problem is, it’s AI slop that’s gotten inside Google’s OODA loop. Whoever put it together has a pretty good idea how to make it looks like a real movie is coming out next year: all you need is the aforementioned slop, a presence on Facebook, Youtube, Instagram, no links to anything, and now the AI slop Google wants us to use instead of Google Search is treating it all as a ‘real’ upcoming movie. Everything feeds on everything else, and at no point a human was there to say, “Hold on. This isn’t real.”

For the record, I don’t think this heralds the end of civilization, or scholarship. Somebody will develop the appropriate digital antibodies, eventually. I do suspect that it might herald the eventual end of Google, though. Because when this particular tulip craze crashes, it’s gonna take a bunch of companies with it…
