Google is corrupted with over half the search results being related to buying something. I search for regular words and it's interpreted as a brand or product.

If that happens to ChatGPT, it's useless to me.

I suspect the free version will tilt more in this direction until it becomes worse than useless. The current free offering is honestly too good to be true at present.

Ironically, these days I only switch from ddg to google when I want to buy something.

Same for me, I've entirely abandoned google's search engine. It's become rapidly more useless to the point where it's just become a search engine for their ad servers, to browse what ads and garbage is in their database instead of providing relevant information from the web about search terms.
