It’s on purpose. The longer you scroll, the longer you’re on the platform. That’s higher engagement numbers and is used to expose you to/negotiate higher prices from advertisements.
I honestly think this is one of the reasons AI is so popular with people. We didn’t notice because we have been using ddg, and adblocks. But searching for things in google, and finding any decent sites that’s related and not shoving down ads all over the screen is hard to find.
Then people found something where they just search/ask things and get answers without any of the hassle. If you don’t care about the source, or want to check multiple views then you have what you want. Specially because I think lot of people seem to use google to just find what they already have bias towards.
I use AIs exactly as you’re describing, but I ask for sources, which they’re “ok” for.
They’re bad at it too but in a way that make them useful to then extract the keywords google would expect (i.e, the response doesn’t necessarily make sense, but at least I have some resources to form a question google can answer), while google doesn’t seem to be able to give me proper results when I search by using words other than the exact matching keywords
Ironically, I’d spend more time on YouTube if I could find something I’d actually enjoy watching. If I find myself scrolling on end without finding anything good, I turn off the TV and go do something else.

They want you to give up on search and ask their AI
