Idiocracy was waaaaay too optimistic about the future.

That said, all it has to do is a better job at controlling our lives than the humans currently running everything are doing, and the lowness of that bar serves as a pretty accurate marker for the exact center of the Earth's core.

Their newest app to connect to virtual desktops (that I'm aware of) is named Windows App. Searching for info on that fucking thing was a pain in the ass.

Now imagine naming a social media platform after a letter of the alphabet

I find myself thinking about this movie a lot lately...

I don't remember, was it Microsoft or just the journalists saying

The windows app let's you run windows apps on windows

A human can at least spot an obvious error and correct it in the system. An AI would just double down and apologize for any inconvenience.

Or your company after the whole alphabet.

Carbon footprint - AI burns a lot more power than old fashioned search results.

I get wanting to cost them more, but I don't think they'll see this use case as a cost.

Most of the systems where this worked did it for any unrecognized words.

They're different things. The comment you're replying to is talking about different search engines. SearxNG is a metasearch engine - it combines results from multiple different search engines together.

Both are important. If you use SearXNG but only enable Google, the results will be the same as if you used Google directly. However, some of the other search engines may have better results for some search engines than Google does.

I googled turn off the fucking ai and the overviews are now gone. I'm surprised it's that easy to turn off.
