    Google is completely unusable. I know google fu, and had in the past been able to find the info i needed by knowing how to use key words, exclusions, focus terms, ect. But now i couldn’t get what i wanted even using the AI, which itself is more then useless. It literally lies at my expense, who’s only goal is to gas light me into thinking i got what i needed. Do not use google.

      Absolutely false and obviously so. If it was completely unusable no one would still use or talk about it. Why lie to make your point?

      Edit: really struck a nerve with this one…how dare I suggest Google, a thing I successfully use every day, still resembles some level of utility.

        Hyperbole is a literary device used to draw emphasis through extreme exaggeration. Hyperbole is not meant to be taken literally, but rather understood as a means of communicating something specific. Those who hear or read the hyperbole should understand that it is an exaggeration.
