Not trying to start a flame war. Just an observation today. Apparently the Google foray into artificial intelligence has made their regular search results unnaturally stupid. I was getting called by what is clearly an 813 Tampa, Florida number, so I ran a quick search. Bing, (full disclosure, it’s owned by my employer Microsoft) did NOT have an answer - but it offered some relevant links to phone book sites to search 813 specifically. Not Google. Here’s the main screen of what Google presented. Results about Connecticut, Massachusetts, Ohio, and more, some not even within 1000 miles. Absolute irrelevance score 1000%. 🙄Not trying to start a flame war. Just an observation today.
