Search engines

I use the big G. I've only now noticed the first hit uses AI. Didn't pay much attention before. I don't have a problem, per se, with AI being used as such. Should be its only use, imo.
Yesterday, I only wrote a few thousand words. I needed to do research. Cool beans. The coolest beans.I had two interesting searches. Allow me to share.
I am digging deep and finding names that are unusual. I need to know how to pronounce them. Because I don't want to get it wrong. That would be awful. It's important to me. Names...are important.okay
I have a name with the "h" in an odd place. So I type in the word, and my page is filled with information about this fetish.I beg your finest pardon. Fetish?Turns out, the name I'm using means "muscle", and that led me to a literal "muscle fetish."I'm jaded in some ways and so naive in others.It was hilarious.
Then, I need to pronounce another name, an archaic one. I type in the name and "pron" because I've done this so many times, it usually auto fills "pronunciation". More frosty beans.I thought it had until my searches came back with adult materials because stupid AI thought I spelled p*rn wrong. 🙄 Now I'm enlightened about another aspect of other people's lives. mercy
I also am redecorating a kitchen in my book and was all over G with searches for everything from color of paint, matching tiles, wet saw, crown molding and its numerous types, and doors, amongst other things. Took far longer than I wished. But it gives me a great starting point for tomorrow.
Today is recovering from yesterday's searches 😂 , cleaning around the house, and having Valentine's Day dinner with the Honey this evening.
Tomorrow?Back to inappropriate searches and at least 7000 words on my novel.
