google search was horribly unusable for me yesterday in English from California.. it was obviously changing my search terms and then delivering "popular" content, not at all what I was searching for.. literally not at all..

this sea change is related to the AI rush -- very disappointing and at the same time alarming, due to the previous universal reliability of google search

The result is still available it appears to come from this page https://www.mapquest.com/travel/destinations/landmarks/place...

Maybe that page is AI generated but Google is displaying a relevant although incorrect result
