@joel Arf; true. Missed opportunity! I could do a reference like "Piano score: Burns, Burns, Burns...
"@davidrevoy hehe! I was targeting the search engine, not the story teller

@davidrevoy don't know if it was a conscious choice, but I like the book title about fire-proof panties: it suggests that the machine knows personal details about the user (that she's likely to wear panties and not boxers) and pushes the ad on her even when the request had nothing to do with it.
@isagalaev Thank you! Yes, a conscious choice; the "Top 5 Best Engagement Rings (For you)" is also a direct recommendation.
️ I had a lot of fun writing this part. To bad I had to limit to 6 results; I wrote probably more than 10 on my first draft.

@davidrevoy we need a series with just that red parrot robot getting up to no good or solving crime or something lol.
@scottytrees A sort of "Columbo, but it's an AI Parrot" type of series?
-
@davidrevoy this is incorrect. search results got worse befor ai
@condret You are right. It's a caricature here, but also when everything went full AI it went downhill : summary, AI "for you" recommendation based on your profiling, more slop entries unfiltered, etc...
-
@NullTheFool Same...
-
@Konqi Haha, true. Unconscious decision here; maybe the books have a secret box inside them for all the cookies of partners.
...and it makes me think now of this old episode https://www.peppercarrot.com/en/miniFantasyTheater/016.html
Everything start to be connected!@davidrevoy I like the cookie with the eye patch

I stopped using Google years ago, and I did not replace it with Bing either. Nor did I trust DuckDuckGo since it is in America.

I’ve been using #quant for a while now. Happy with it. -
@hacknorris @wikipedia I agree
Btw, I wonder what parody name (and metaphor) in a fantasy setting I could give to Wikipedia... I'm open to ideas!The Collective? The Swarm? The Hive?
"Let's ask the hive."
It should consist of many entities. Ants, fairies, bodiless hands, swifts, mushrooms, a castle full of weird people – could be anything.
And they should be constantly bickering among themselves while also being very thorough, helpful and intelligent – and super smug about it!

@simondev Nice. Thanks for the link. I had the classic DDG with AI turned off (+ublock origin and a AI blocklist), I'll check if this variant is better.

@davidrevoy uhm I guess it's the same. But it is useful if you are using a public computer and want an address that has all ai turned off by default

@davidrevoy @scottytrees Applying Sherlock Holmes methods, but they're actually *realistically* applied by the Avian Intelligence (no plot magic), and therefore always wrong
