#AI #technology is destroying #online #search 😱👎
The other kind of search — "exploratory search" — is the hard one. That's where you don't know what you don't know. What's the right phone for me? What's the deal with the Thirty Years' War? Getting a satisfactory answer is more iterative. You throw a bunch of keywords into the search box, you scroll through the links, you try new terms. It's not perfect, and it's skewed by the profit motives of advertisers and the implicit judgments that #Google makes behind the scenes about which pages count as authoritative. But it's what made it possible for us to find a needle in an online haystack.
