here’s one that’s been bothering me, I can’t believe it’s real

I Google a person
I see a blurb of their Wikipedia page
I click the word “Wikipedia” which appears to be a link
IT EXPANDS AN AI SUMMARY OF THE WIKIPEDIA PAGE
A new, separate link to the Wikipedia page pops up and I have to click that

Aha! But you admit you had to click more than would have been the case otherwise. Check and mate 😏

This thing has been driving me insane doing cursory research for some offseason @sickoscommittee.org stuff

ungoliant.bsky.social•55 days ago

soon when you google something it will take like 3 or 4 clicks to actually get to what you googled and get OFF of google

rodger.bsky.social•55 days ago

Good news is this seems to be just mobile and doesn’t happen for every person I google

nic-gulas.bsky.social•55 days ago

You should just possess a vast knowledge of everyone and avoid the use of Google altogether, IMO. Seems very simple to cover a sport with yearly rotating rosters of 100 people across three divisions

Wikipedia app rules, worth the download

mlloydlodge.bsky.social•55 days ago

Google has been actively making their core app worse for users for a few years now because they really don’t want you to leave google under any circumstances.

They keep doing something similar for Reddit.

Googs, you're lucky I'm using your search engine to search reddit. Keep this up and the middle man is gone.

Oh my god I hate this SO MUCH

samhobart.bsky.social•55 days ago

Stop using Google. Duck duck go has the same feature but you can turn it off. Feels like Google circa 2017

And the half the AI summary is refuted by the Wikipedia link! I looked up Trent baalle this morning and the summary said he was a coach!

viktorshtrum.bsky.social•55 days ago

I suggest you try using https://kagi.com and see if you like it. I never use Google anymore except for Google Maps

I’ve switched to Duck Duck Go, it doesn’t do that.

atkinscolm.bsky.social•55 days ago

Seconded, DuckDuckGo isn't perfect, but it's far more usable.

I noteced that if you make Chrome Incognito by default no AI crap is added. Not sure how long though.

As a big bedtime Wikipedia reader, this has been driving me insane lately

bullcitybowler.bsky.social•55 days ago

I had someone recommend downloading the wikipedia app and using that for searches instead, and it's been a game-changer. It's well-designed and easy to search/find in article, and no having to sort through google ai slop. Perfect for when I have a specific thing I want info on or read about

deuceto7.bsky.social•55 days ago

It's a little annoying that each site needs its own app now though.

orc0909.bsky.social•55 days ago

Yeah this fucking sucks. Google is very close to making me look for a replacement.

mferench.bsky.social•55 days ago

also annoying is when i just want to go to a wikipedia page quick but that isn't one of the first results on a search and you have to add wikipedia to your seatch
