    So they need to review every website? That’s not as daunting, there’s only 1.1 billion websites with only about 17% (roughly 193 million) being actively maintained and updated. Compared to the number of searches it’s certainly much smaller, but that’s still a huge dataset that has to be reviewed.

    Face it, this is not a simple thing that can just be solved by throwing AI at it. The only way search could exist in this environment is if it was subscription based or a public utility.

    For the record, I favor search being a public utility. Nationalize Google.

      I’m going to assume you’re just trolling now. I refuse to believe that someone can be this stupid, without actually doing it intentionally. Well done, you got me for a few comments. But, I’m done feeding the troll.

        You have to review every website that the search engine can access or else you can’t actually stop the problem. Literally how else could you do it? A chatbot can’t reliably flag everything on its own, humans are going to have to actually look for false-positives and false-negatives, and with a billion websites that’s a lot of labor.

        Also thanks for taking sledge hammer to my self-esteem for literally no fucking reason, as I expect from reddit.world
