Has Google’s search results drastically declined for anyone else?

Not just Google. Duck duck go was good for awhile but now also getting worse. Assume this is Ai and other tools screwing with how their web crawlers collect data. Expect it to get worse before it gets better.

DDG recently started to exclude terms from my search query and returns more random garbage and a "search only ..." link. So often I search, find nothing, then realize DDG messed up again. Really not sure why it's doing that.

General intelligence slowly taking over, curating everything to the point we won't be able to tell that it needs to be unplugged when the time comes.

But I enjoy the content it gives me about the content I don't like being incorrect. And I'll be damned if I ever say I wish I was born 30 years earlier.
