    So “as a compliment to web search” is a great example. We had really good we search based off deterministic algorithms. Now we have enshittified web search, so you boost it with AI that was significantly more expensive to train, significantly more expensive to run inference on, and can confidently return false “facts”.

    We’re not using it because it’s better. We’re using it because the alternative got worse.
