Has google enabled some sort of AI in their search?

As google developed over the years, advertising slowly crept into the results page. It was tolerable, because the ads wrapped the data, I could still find what I was searching for... this morning, i'm doing some research, and I have page after page of ads with no end. I went to duckduckgo and boom - found the information I needed. It was not a complex query. Is it me? Maybe cookies or something?

It's not you. Companies will continue to push more and more as we continue to dip into this recession that the TV lies about. As a side note, if people haven't figured out the establishment does not care about them or their finances... then they're not paying much attention.

And Bing has a habit of repeating the same item in a query ... as if there was no (extra) material but it has a "page quota". I think I said I was "impressed" a few months ago ... I take it back. Ai's appeal in inversely proportional to one's curiosity.

You must remember that Google is not a search engine. It's an information forager whose byproduct is to show you web search results. As long as you look at them in that order, you shan't be surprised by anything that happens as a result of using their service.

This is truth. I admit it, I'm an old fart. I thought the best thing since sliced bread was Altavista. Just pure data search. Along came google with their do no evil bs. I'm fine with some ads, but this is just stupid. Bing now gives me better results, and just saying that made me shudder.
