SPAM is ruining the Web and some spammers have adopted chatbots, spewing garbage in addition to the more 'traditional' spam. Gemini does not (yet) have this problem. Gemini, the protocol, not the chaff machine of Google.

"This process worked for me for a number of years, however, I am now running into what many have described regarding irrelevant Google search results (lost knowledge) and cheapening Amazon product listings (lost quality). I am now finding that in order to get to the exact knowledge on product quality in life, I either have to search Google for Reddit posts/comments and/or call an expert in real life to try and extract that experience, knowledge, and expertise that a person has built up over the years (assuming they haven’t retired yet). Things seem to be getting harder instead of easier as life and time go on — something I didn’t expect to happen when I was a kid growing up with all this once amazing technology!"
