Why can't we just have something decent for a while?

Does literally everything have to turn to shit every few months, forcing us to either eat the shit sandwich & smile, or do a bunch of unpaid labor to rearrange our lives constantly...?

Some AI is good, some is bad. For me it depends on the use case and implementation.

Even though each individual outburst is only (in my case) a second or so, adding it up over the day, week and month, shows that a lot of time is being lost due to this.

I'll proably move back to duckduckgo. I do not think they have this b.s.
