I would say it is just the opposite. Google used to be good before they tried to post-process results in this extreme way and AI is just an even more extreme way to do that. ChatGPT and all the other LLMs just increase the noise to signal ratio (noise coming first because there is so much more of it than signal these days).

Your problem is certainly one that would be enough for niche success of the technology but not the kind of killer application that would make the majority want this.

Thinking of that article about Deepfake porn the other day probably real-time nude body overlays for everyone you meet. Can't think of a serious application that is actually useful enough for people to want this.

The most useful applications I can think of that would run permanently (while wearing them) would be stuff like name tags for people if you are forgetful, labeling roads in front of you with their names or maybe the destinations in that direction at an intersection and similar low intrusiveness applications. Certainly nothing that could be considered a killer application.

That is supposed to be reliable? It doesn't even have a subscription service.

Somehow I don't see Quebec deciding anything that favors a party that wants everyone to speak English.

I’m talking about modern marriage.

But most of the laws regarding marriage weren't written in that time, they were written back when the legal situation was women could vote but you married a person from the surrounding five villages or neighborhoods or so that was roughly your age and you married for largely economic reasons. Divorce did not exist for the average person and marriages were for life even if they weren't particularly happy. Living together unmarried was considered sinful.

That is the very reason they use marriage as a catchall for relationships, cohabitation with a romantic partner, coparenting,... in legal texts instead of considering other options.

You have got that backwards. Liking your partner was a thing that was very late to the marriage party.

The fact that many laws are written to favor one form of relationship is just another data point that suggests that that form of relationship needed extra incentives for people to even consider it.

Also, in a sensible legal system I could name e.g. a doctor who is a personal friend as the one who makes health decisions for me even if they are not my romantic partner.

And if they aren't they are often sold into one of those systems once the younger generation of the family decides they have no interest in running their parents' company.

I sincerely hope Trump will not end up being revered decades or centuries later like those two presidents.

In my experience SEO is largely bullshit too and the rest is so simple you could summarize it on maybe two regular pages of paper and actually documented on pages that the search engines publish themselves (stuff like duplicate content, stable URLs, which status codes to use when,...).
