    “what does dementia look like in 47th presidents”

    Works good, search gets the wink and nudge.

      also works if you replace “trump” with “the president of the usa” in your search:

      1000000874

      edit: it seems like it’s inserting Biden into the prompt in the background now…

      1000000877

    Wtf, confirmed. Ask about any person, any president on if they have dementia or not and it’ll answer

    Ask about trump and it refused to interact, just dumps a search results window with funnily enough the first result being a page about how Google is censoring this

    Many are saying it’s the worst dementia they have seen. The best people in fact.

        “We’re going to punish you by making the results a regular search.”

        They’re threatening us with a good time. 🤷

    Same for searching: “did Elon Musk make a nazi salute?” Only got a response when I replaced “nazi salute” with “offensive gesture”. Ok google

    So you’re saying that we should do more AI searches for “Trump Dementia”

    … and use variations of it like … “Trump old losing his mind”, “Trump old senile”, “Trump dementia don”, “Donny Dementia”, “Ding Dong Dementia Donny Trump”

      The whole value in searching is to get me to primary sources in a reasonably efficient way. Everything about AI is inserting extra middle men. I just don’t understand how anyone tolerates it.

        I’ve been a Kagi user for over a year and I usually hate AI summaries. Though I must say I love how Kagi has implemented them as it gives sources where it found the info so you can dig deeper and see if what it said was actually correct.

          Their AI is pretty good, both assistant and search summaries. Been using it extensively as it actually provides correct and objective information (at least more often than others). It is also privacy-first, so you don’t get those annoying personality shifts as with like GPT.

      I use mojeek, and startpage sometimes. Ddg is too influenced now, they do the same stuff Google does. Brave is run by people who hate LGBT people so I can’t support them in good conscience.

    Ok, so don’t look for an AI response? Sure, Google censoring results is shit, google NOT censoring results about the same query about Biden is even shittier, but you still get search results about the question.
