10 or 15 years ago, I could actually find what I wanted without it second-guessing my queries and rewriting them into irrelevance.
Now it's absolutely useless for the hard-to-find information that you most need a search engine for. That's not "objectively better" at all.
I wish you could give us a single example.
IC part numbers. Service manuals for various equipment (now all you get are sites which may or may not have one, but are willing to collect your $$$). Error codes (filled with pages of results for a different code).
A solid example? I search for some of these all the time don't remember any particular issue compared to past.
