Futurology

Quite apart from the issue of Google as a monopoly, i've really noticed a lot of their services going downhill in the last 18 months or so. Search gets steadily worse. But their AI voice transcription services, and grammar and spell checks, are nowhere near as good as free open source alternatives. Not only that, but bizarrely they've actually got worse than they used to be, where everywhere else in these fields it's constant improvement.
