    Google maps has been hounding me to try AI searching, but I cannot for the life of me think of a reason why I would want to ever do so.

    This is just another reason why AI sucks at concrete data searching. Give it a prompt for coming up with a new recipe for some dinner dish, sure. Help me formulate listicles for my shitty blog, okay.

    But asking AI to find the nearby hospital, grocery store, or arcade seems fucking ludicrous. Fix your search indexers for real places don’t offload that to hallucinating LLMs.

      It’s really annoying because SEARCH IS REALLY GOOD ALREADY and “AI searching” is adding a bad, buggy frontend over either the already good search or a worse version of search (vector DB searches).

        ah but see, if you move these here goalposts of quality, suddenly there’s a whole lot more “room for improvement” and thus a longer commercial horizon! and best of all is it doesn’t even reuse the same old stuff - innovation! out with the old! yay to crushing tech debt!

        our management is very smart.
