One thing I like about personal AI is that it feels like what search engines used to be. If you’re curious about something and want a quick answer, you type it in and actually get it. These days search engines are full of sponsored links and ads, buried under a bunch of SEO junk pages you have to scroll forever just to find a simple answer. And even when you finally click one, you still have to reject the cookies and dig around the page just to find the actual info. That’s why I’m honestly a bit worried. Back in the day search engines started out like this too until they became too important / too widely used. Right now AI chats still feel clean and direct but I keep thinking what happens when the big companies start treating them the same way they treated search? More ads, more filtering, more optimized answers that aren’t really answers anymore. Google is already started testing Gemini-powered ads that gets into the AI answers in search. Anyone else feel like this is the direction things are heading? submitted by /u/DobbyTheJedi
