A lot of people in these comments have strong opinions about the performance of a service they use frequently, for which they pay zero dollars, and is run by a public company with a fiduciary duty to provide ROI to its investors.

I wonder how many of them would switch to a paid model that offered pre-ai-era google search?

No, we are not madly harvesting the world's resources in a monomaniacal attempt to optimize artificial intelligence. We are, however, harvesting the world's resources in an attempt to optimize artificial intelligence.
