It doesn't get any better than this right now.

And it won't ever get any worse.

You sure about that? Google Search is backed by a pretty big-serious ML model, and it's gotten a lot worse in just the last few years.

Valid point there for sure.

But yes, in general, models won't get worse than they are now (or if they do, they won't stay that way.) At Google, search has been enshittified for business reasons, not technical ones.

There are other search engines that are on par with Google search from a few years ago. Brave search is particularly good.

These were developed without the big bucks, so the tech has improved for smaller players at least.

"enshitification" suggests otherwise
