We all know how horrible Google search has become. Yet beyond the issues with results, the need for quoting every search to find relevance, the nonsense shown without web being used as an option? It is now exceptionally slow.Searches, especially at 2am Eastern (a favourite time for night owls to work) take upwards of 10 to 15 seconds to return. Yet these are also peppered with endless capchas, which sometimes require a checkbox but also what is a car , and is that a bike nonsense.Yet we ve seen over and over again, how LLMs can easily pass these tests. I feel what I m seeing here is more of Google s collapse. Creating horrible search experiences for humans, without actually resolving any possible issues they re having with bots. And it wouldn t be so bad, except these are repeatedly shown to the end user. Each search. With slow results, each search.What used to be beautiful, a sub second result, is now and endless break in workflow. And you know what Google? If I m going to be handed this, why would I think Gee, Google is exceptionally competent, I should use Gemini! .No. I see a company barely able to manage its infra. I see, frankly, pathetic response times. I see an inability for a company which has the assets, and personnel, incapable of resolving immensely simple issues. So why on Earth would I trust an LLM from a company that s devolving into the screw up king .
