Interesting article.
“Instead of passing a law preventing civilians from carrying weapons of war, they enacted a rule prohibiting spectators from carrying small signs into meetings.”
“Americans, whether they own a gun or don’t, want guns kept out of the hands of dangerous and unstable people. Americans, whether they vote for Republicans or Democrats, don’t want children to be blasted into bits at their school desks. As we have lately learned here in Tennessee, that’s a lot of common ground.”
This is my complaint. It ranks popular videos with the title words out of order, over videos with the words in phrase order when I’ve used quote marks as a command to only return results containing the phrase.
I also assume that for both Google and YouTube, content they want me to see is being ranked above content I choose. I am the product, not the customer, and to me that’s not acceptable in a search engine.
The thing that strikes me about LLMs is that they have been created to chat. To converse. They’re partly influenced by Turing tests where the objective is to convince someone you’re human by keeping up a conversation. They weren’t designed to create meaningful content or factual content.
People still seem to want to use chat GPT to create something, and fix the accuracy as a second step. I say go back to the drawing board and create a tool that analyses statements and tries to create information based on trusted linked open data sources.

Except he’s only there so that there can be a leadership change before the next election, where we get whoever has Lachlan Murdoch’s blessing, and that person can pretend they’re not going to do the usual creepy Liberal shit, and blame all the party’s failures on Dutton.
I search Google for “Music behind the scenes”. Because the first word is music(?) Google gives me four songs with some of the keywords, but not in phrase order. Then it gives me seven YouTube videos, then one website that actually contains the phrase, and in fact refers to the videos I’m looking for.
But what it absolutely refused to give me, no matter how hard I tried, was this: https://youtu.be/7r01e_SZ5ic?si=GdOpoP8dBp372yjg
I presume this is because the videos aren’t monetised? Anyway precision score 11/30, and as for recall, even if I click on ‘videos’ the five of them that have the exact phrase in the title don’t appear at all.
Absolutely. Do you remember the herp derp extension that would turn them all into ‘herp derp herp derp’ so that you wouldn’t have to read them?
Ah, the positive characteristics of people who are early adopters of new technology, and capable of navigating their way onto a system where signing up wasn’t trivial. Seems to be highly correlated with language skills like spelling, grammar and vocabulary. I recognise my privilege.
Takeaway: “What's the use of ranking high with content that doesn't engage visitors? If they feel like a bot wrote the content, it defeats the purpose. If this is what it takes to rank on a search engine, then there's something wrong with the search engine itself.”
True dat.

I hope everyone got to the point in the article where Top Blokes is mentioned because that’s a good news story.
Thanks for your reply, I appreciate the correction and the info.
