Remember when you could type a vague plot of a film you’d heard about into Google and it’d be the first result?
I honestly don’t remember this at all. I remember priding myself on my “google-fu” and how to search it to get what i, or other people, needed. Which usually required understanding the precise language that you would need to use, not something vague. But over the years it’s gotten harder and harder, and now I get frustrated with how hard it has become to find something useful. I’ve had to go back to finding places I trust for information and looking through them.
Although, ironically, I can do what you’re talking about with ai now.
