Redditor asks why AI search still sucks: walled gardens, rate limits and filtering blamed

A Reddit user vents that AI-powered search consistently underdelivers, listing suspected causes: valuable info locked inside walled gardens (Facebook, TikTok, Instagram), provider rate limiting and robots.txt restrictions, monetary incentives skewing results, underspecified open-ended queries, and the need to filter out low-quality AI-generated content.
Their test case — finding the best dentist in their city by some criteria — failed across every approach, including complicated multi-agent setups. They're asking the community for resources or methods on doing AI search efficiently, calling it one of the most important skills of this era.
