has anyone noticed pages that are just ai slop popping up recently? they have low quality information and serve no purpose but to waste time.
if you haven’t experienced these, just search up a common tech problem and click on a generically named site. chances are, it will have a table of context and generally low quality writing. if you get lucky, there might also be some blatant lies in there(for example: this site claims garmin instinct watches have an sd card).
is there a ublock origin blocklist for these? thank you for suggestions.
The problem predates the AI craze. SEO slop started snowballing before.

Non-Google search engines are kinda the in-progress solutions, as the sheer volume of stuff to block is likely intractable. Google has the power to fight it themselves, but, well, see the writeup…

Gemini is nice. It’s got some serious QOL improvements over Gopher too, for those of us that like a little formatting or structure.
