Ditching Google is good, but not for AI. We should take the ditching part and redirect the young people to use other search engines.

Ditching Google is good, but not for AI. LLMs and their precursors were always how search engines compiled and ranked their search results. Google has been using some form of AI to build up its base of information for decades. The absurd turn of the last decade was Google C-level pivot from engagement through useful results to engagement through bad results that force you to click around on the site longer. “How do we get more ad interaction?” became the question that dominated the development of their technology. That’s what enahittified their website. Not “AI”.
