When did Google get so f-ing weird?

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
This is really tough... so many suicides happen every day, happened every day long before AI or even the internet "was a thing," it would be interesting to track trends to see if AI is making any macro differences positive or negative over the past couple of years (of course this will be impossible to tease out from variables like changing economic and social stresses...) We have a friend whose son was struggling with degenerating epilepsy, increasing seizure frequency, etc. He used ChatGPT to write his own obituary, then died of "an accident associated with a seizure" a few weeks later... I can't really blame ChatGPT for his death, in a way it helped him communicate with the people he didn't see or talk with very much in the months before his death, explain his perspective...
If Apple weren't an order of magnitude more revolting than Google, I'd think about switching. If I do ever switch off of Android/Google it will be to a smaller competitor, not the other bad choice.
