Look, Google, it's not that hard.
When I hit the "gi" shortcut in my browser, I want to do a Google-Image search, not some kind of reverse image-search where I identify images for you.
I give you text, you give me images! That's the deal!
Now the tables have turned it seems.
Now, when I say "gi", you ask me to identify images for you?
This is too many times. No more.
The apprentice has surpassed the master.
/me edits bookmarks.
"gi" will no longer mean "Google Image Search", it will bizarrely because of historic finger-memory, mean "search duck-duck-go for images"
Because Google just gives you adverts and spam and AI training challenges instead of actual search results now.
Thanks google. Now I have to trade time editing configurations in return for #boosts and #likes.
And I #block you from my default image search.
