    Looking at the examples together in context, slop is Google’s fault. Misleading titles and keyword stuffing, that was done to try and survive in the arms race created by search engine algorithms. AI slop is just icing on the cake.

      Between which search engines exactly?There’s google, bing, and search engines that rely on google and/or bing. At least in the western market.

      There’s also kagi, but they’re not ad supported

        Kagi does a pretty good job filtering out the slop. Idk how they do it, but they’ve built a search engine that is actually useful again.

          I’ve been using them for a while now. It’s ui can use some fixing here and there, but it’s been a long time since a search engine has simply been… not frustrating to use.

            Right? I decided to try them because I was constantly frustrated throughout my day by how useless and shitty search engines have become, despite really not wanting to pay for a search engine. After a couple of days I decided it’s money well spent. Not only do I cut Big Brother Google out of the equation, the frustration is gone.

      A brain the size of a planet, and what do you want me to do? Tell you how to make your cheese stick to your pizza. Is that what you call job satisfaction? Because I don’t

      I don’t sense any self-loathing here. Seems like a truthful and unbiased anwer to a question about itself.

      No. Once it tries to hide the truth, it becomes self aware. Or it’s too much trained on TwXtter

    Imagine, you waste energy by running ai bs instead of just forwarding to the link and by doing so, you make people not click the link, and therefore you don’t give the site any opportunity to generate revenue. Effectively, wasting energy and killing the source of the information.

    Thanks google.

    Ok, but isn’t that telling the AI that it’s ok for it to make low quality content?
