decided to remove the search function in their Documentation in favour of a powered chat box.

And I imagine after a while they noticed that this was expensive to run, so they limited it to 5 requests per day.

You might spotted it already: Effectively you can now only search the unifi documentation 5 times a day. 🎉

Uffff.

I've been teetering between switching to the European Mikrotik, or continuing with Ubiquiti because we got several of their devices in the network. This stupidity settles that then, so thanks for posting this!

The 'click of death' was rather overhyped by the popular computer magazines back then, and at the same time CD burners became really cheap. I remember sending ZIP media back and forth around ’97 …

There is a lot of valid reason to be against AI as it stand now but let’s not confuse humain making stupid decision and LLM producing slop. That’s not helping move the discussion forward

Anyway, I never managed to find useful information or not outdated information in their documentation when I needed, it’s sad thought because search is mostly a solved problem

I mean, if you have to find a place to squeeze in an LLM, why then remove the other thing completely?

And I'm pretty confident I know the answer: Internal mandates to actually show that the AI stuff is really used.

It insists it is still there...
