Summary:

In the video, Mrwhosetheboss argues that Google Search has become worse. He believes that Google has prioritized sponsored links and shopping ads over organic search results. As a result, it is becoming increasingly difficult to find the information you are looking for on Google. He also criticizes Google for its use of generative AI, which he believes is not accurate and could eventually replace the need to visit other websites.

There was a discussion about this topic on Hacker News a few months ago:

One ex-Googler pointed out that due to the machine learning stuff and every new employee trying out the latest “AI” stuff on top of it, no human can understand and thus debug the search engine properly anymore.
