I mostly agree with TFA, with one glaring exception: The quality of Google search results has regressed so badly in the past years (played by SEO experts), that AI was actually a welcome improvement.

User issue. Every single time this comes up.

People don't know how to search, that's it. Even the HN population.

Every time this gets posted, I ask for one example of thing you tried to find and what keywords you used. So I'm giving you the same offer, give me for one thing you couldn't find easily on Google and the keywords you used, and I'll show you Google search is just fine.

Google is nearly useless for recipes. Try finding a recipe for beef bourguignon. They exist, but with huge prefaces and elaboration that mean endless scrolling on a phone, all in the name of maximizing time spent on page (which is a search ranking criteria).

Search for "beef bourguignon recipe", the first result is for https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/beef-bourguignon which has the list of ingredients and the recipe pretty much straight away.
