Gregory's Server@tomw It actually gets worse, because the auto-generated junk text will be more optimized for search engines than anything written by humans, so pretty soon it will be impossible to find anything on the Internet outside of auto-generated junk and sponsored or corporate content. This genuinely worries me as a creator of blog content who understands the importance of SEO.
@Phracker2Art @tomw from what I can tell we’ve already reached that point. For the past year or two it’s become increasingly difficult to find real answers to many questions on Google. The only workable way I’ve found for certain types of questions it to use the “site:” modifier to restrict my questions to sites like Reddit or Stackoverflow. But even Stackoverflow is having problems now with AI-generated garbage.
