The British entrepreneur says search results are plagued with ‘clickbait’

Google has plunged the internet into a “spiral of decline”, the co-founder of the company’s artificial intelligence (AI) lab has claimed.

Mustafa Suleyman, the British entrepreneur who co-founded DeepMind, said: “The business model that Google had broke the internet.”

He said search results had become plagued with “clickbait” to keep people “addicted and absorbed on the page as long as possible”.

Information online is “buried at the bottom of a lot of verbiage and guff”, Mr Suleyman argued, so websites can “sell more adverts”, fuelled by Google’s technology.

    If you aren’t paying for chatgpt, give a look to perplexity.ai, it is free.

    You’ll see that sources are references and linked

    Don’t judge on the free version of chatgpt

    Edit. Why the hell are you guys downvoting a legit suggestion of a new technology in the technology community? What do you expect to find here? Comments on steam engines?

      Wow, it’s really good. Who knew that asking a bot to provide references would immediately improve the quality of the answers?

        If you try “copilot” option, you get the full experience. It’s pretty neat because it allows for brainstorming.

        It is still a very “preliminary version” experience (it often gets stuck in a small bunch of websites), because the whole thing is just few months old. But it has a lot of potential
