How would you expect search forecasts to be met if most of the time you get "are you a robot" or clanker summaries if you are lucky.

Search no longer works and you are killing your most important product with AI that nobody wants. If search worked like in 2010, no one would use AI answers.

Anecdotally, I've stopped using Google search because of the captcha issue. It's a lot more work than using other search providers now.
