Serious question, why do we give so much power to these tech firms such as Google, when really the solution is decentralization. We have some solutions for money with bitcoin, but there still doesn’t seem to be a viable alternative with a search engine that is decentralized?
I don’t see why we can’t just have something like a blockchain based search engine where crypto is given based on how much indexing (crawling) is done. Of course this is just an idea right now. But have an incentive to people to do crawling of it through something like blockchain. This ensures that there won’t be any centralization and search result manipulation with things such as psyops (brain washing the population through search results)

Wait until you see what TV makers mean with AI. I recently found a setting ‘AI Brightness’ on my LG TV, which just sets the brightness relative to the environment, measured by a light sensor.

I disagree blockchain technology shouldn’t be underestimated

Blockchain is not a good fit for a distributed search engine, since each node needs to store the entire chain. It’s possible that some sort of system for using a blockchain based token to incentivize participation in an IPFS like network would help provide a funding model for publishing the index, but that would just be one small component in a decentralized search engine, and not even the most interesting one.
