Google Maps just fucking SUCKS now

Use Google.

No. Google is a shit search engine. I use Duck Duck Go, which isn't a lot better, but you can at least turn off the AI bullshit. The CEO of Google should be tarred and feathered and run out of town for putting fucking AI results which are frequently wrong at the very top. Those who aren't very smart will screenshot this AI slop and post it on social media. They really think it proves their point. I often make fun of them.

He should be tarred and feathered for a lot of other reasons too. https://www.wheresyoured.at/the-men-who-killed-google/

Google has gotten bad enough recently that, irrespective of the AI summary, I get better results on DuckDuckGo, which uses Bing for its search results. Bing is still kind of crummy but not as crummy as Google. The one thing that Google still does better is image results, although I still will try Duck images before Google because sometimes the crummy results are unintentionally hilarious.

It's weird to me, hearing people talk about Duck Duck Go now, because I remember it from like 15 years ago and then never heard about it again since then.
