I was spell checking myself and the auto-generated summary of results told me that the phrase didn't exist.

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Ask us how they screwed up the AND operator.
The AND operator sucked anyway.
Nay nay - the and (+) operator worked perfectly for searching for [search term] and only showing results that included [AND other search term].
If it didn't have the other search term it wouldn't appear. Brilliant.
Until . . .
*scary music*
sorry perhaps I misunderstood… I’m thinking of older systems which actually used the AND keyword, as opposed to Google which used + to mean “this word must appear in the search results”.
Back in the day, you could also type 'AND' and Google would interpret it the same as it later did the plus symbol.
Indeed… AND it sucked!
