Fixing small computer or programming issues in a single prompt, instead of clicking through 6 different ad-infesteted, SEO optimized websites with 95% filler text and redundant phrases before giving a wrong answer.

The takeaway for the next government here is essentially: we can do what we want, send anyone to jail, kill people on the street and nothing bad will happen, and no one in power will suffer any consequences.

Well the main thing for them now is to sell more ads…

As far as I remember Alta Vista was ok at the beginning, but soon people figured out that you can get to the top result if you just repeat your top keywords multiple times in the meta Keywords tag.
