Couldn’t agree more. I have dabbled in SEO and it feels like the cost of doing business.

Google also seems to have it wrong these days. Unless I am searching for a specific website name Google search has been useless for me. General questions are often poorly met with results. I don’t find DuckDuckGo all that better.

The value of ChatGPT as implemented in Bing is it gives you the answer directly and then sites sources.

For technical searches I use google for maybe 1 search out of a 100 when DDG doesn't show what I need. And tbh, often google can provide better results. For the other 99 searches DDG is more than adequate.

And now using chatGPT more and more instead of search I think think that there's a big upset in progress. Should be interesting to watch.
