Google Search Is Dying. What Comes Next Is Worse

Google Search's reliability is deteriorating as its AI summaries produce factually incorrect information—such as inventing sunset times—while the underlying infrastructure that once reliably stored accurate information deteriorates through link rot and accessibility issues. The problem is compounded by AI-generated spam contaminating source materials like Reddit, making it increasingly difficult to find accurate information even when it exists online. This collapse of the internet's informational integrity raises questions about cultural sovereignty and our ability to access reliable knowledge in an increasingly polluted digital landscape.
