There’s a bright side to all of this: as the bottleneck to essentially all internet ads, Google can prevent the slow decay of the internet into AI hell by simply de-listing such garbage. And in this case there is a huge winner takes all scenario where if Bing was able to do this, they would quickly own search. It’s a problem that’s been festering for a while, but Bing could end it.

Google provides search that is always just slightly better than it's competitors, the better it is, the lower the revenue, they are incentivised to produce the worst (most profitable) results possible.

The fact that geeksforgeeks is more highly ranked than SO for any coding question I ask proves this to me.

Do programmers in Google not use Google to search questions? Do they not have self respect seeing the bad quality product they’re throwing up on billions of people every day? I can’t imagine working like that.

Not really. Google has an excellent intranet search engine and mostly relies on in-house tools instead of commercial services (see https://github.com/jhuangtw/xg2xg). As a result its employees don't really need to rely on Stack Overflow, etc.
