I was looking for a funny cat video. I know! I didn’t expect any success here.
You can imagine how it went with search engines. 10 minutes looking at their inept results, flooding me with $animal videos and sponsorships, of course. I took a deep breath and watched a compilation on YT and 2 seconds of the funny cat video I was looking for were in it, but that was it.
I asked Copilot “can you find me a video of a cat with its owner telling him don’t do this?” and it corrected me (it’s “don’t do that”) and found it, immediately. That’s George:
It felt good. The original video is two years old but it was on TikTok so of course it’s already gone. I have to pull Newsweek to watch it now.
The state of the internet is abysmal and AI is convincing a lot of people and I can see why.
