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.

    Recently? It’s been happening for years.

    Every one of these websites looks the same too. Like a mix between a blog and a wiki, and always in FAQ form. You can tell that they’re AI-generated because the questions will seem related to each other but the answers often aren’t.

      And they often have the same question worded slightly differently three or four times in the first paragraph.
