The image is a split-panel comparison showing a humorous contrast between search results "then" versus "now." On the left side, labeled "...THEN" with the text "SEARCH RESULTS:", there is a single purple box containing the text "THE THING YOU WANT". On the right side, labeled "...NOW" with the text "SEARCH RESULTS:", there is a series of boxes stacked vertically. These boxes contain the following text: "AI NONSENSE.", three boxes labeled "SPONSORED RESULT", a box labeled "PEOPLE ALSO ASK", and a box labeled "VIEW PRODUCTS". Below the "VIEW PRODUCTS" box are four smaller, square boxes with a small icon of a shopping cart in each. The entire image is drawn in a simple, cartoonish style with thin black lines and a minimal color palette of purple, blue, and white. The contrast highlights a perceived shift in search engine results towards more AI-generated content and advertisements.

@paninid@mastodon.world But the gibberish "corrections" are hilarious.

A Google search window with the search for the string "ghfuyr yckhg fiyd ikyg vkjbv nmbvk jfgu kjy". Google helpfully prompts, "Did you mean: ghfuyr ychg find ikigai vkjbv nbvk jfgu kjy" and says "Your search did not match any documents Need help? Check out other tips for searching on Google." Below this is a suggestion that, "You can also try these searches", with suggestions to search "weather tomorrow", "spanish to english", and "time in tokyo"
