> I was looking for the release dates of 8 and 16-bit consoles
this is a case where search has taken a step backward. The old Google would have worked for a simple search like that, "NES (or sega, whatever) + 'release date' "
and simply return the best results that had those two parameters in them. Today we can't have that because they make more money intentionally fuzzing your search parameters so you accidentally click on sponsored content.
I think we're going to see a lot more of this: renewed excitement and enthusiasm when A.I. "discovers" things that plain old imperative algorithms figured out 20 years ago.
