A group of German researchers have confirmed what we’ve all observed, Google Search has gotten worse over time and is now filled with SEO spam.
Using ChatGPT to get answers instead of wading through spam links in Google reminds me of Google vs AltaVista over twenty years ago.

This artist should have so many more fans than he does. His work is exquisite! If he toured Europe, his music would go off! We were so close to collaborating on one of my musicals in order to take it to Helsinki Midsummer Festival, And then the lockdowns happened.
