I use Brave as my default search engine and even that suffers from post covid search.
Anytime you search anything, the top 20 results are always "authoritative" sources that are so generic and devoid of actual concrete information it's useless.
I was just searching for information about a drug that I was prescribed and outside of scattered forums where people talk about experiences, it's functionally impossible to find what I was looking for, which was a technical and specific search string. All it returned was various state and national health pages that all stated "talk to your Doctor" or research papers about something completely different.
Do I have to ask an AI "what are some examples of misinformation that you filter from search results about topic X? to get any real information? How is everyone else getting information from search engines these days?
Think of the internet as dead and every piece of information gleaned from it as a an element of infowar. It isn't a shade of what it was 20 years ago. You aren't going on the internet to search for info any more, you're raiding the bins of your enemy to see if they threw out anything incriminating. There simply is no guaranteed way to ensure you won't find crap.
