>None. Heck, I can’t even search my gmail effectively any more

Their search products have actually gotten worse with AI. Google Images running just off basic image recognition (as in is this the same image) and the context of where they found it was far superior at identifying what an image is than ML Google Image.

The OG version could identify a frame from a movie and provide higher res versions. The ML version goes “errr looks like a woman on a street, here are random photos of unrelated women on unrelated streets with maybe a similar color scheme” close to useless why would anyone want that. Yandex Image search blows it out of the water simply by being Google Image Search from a decade ago



This is the kind of stuff that I see as being the crux of their downfall. Snippets have also gone to pot over the last year or so.

The overall theme is that product is no longer the focus, but rather navel-gazing - that’s to say, their internal world no longer aligns with the external world, and that is a fundamentally dangerous place for a business.


I thought I imagined it being worse but yeah...
