Oh and any search engine yields static slop pages numbering in the 10's of thousands of also ai slop worthless pages.

My favorite is when I search for how to do something in Blender (the 3d modeling and animation program) only realize that I'm wasting my time reading a slop article on what is ostensibly a cooking website because someone told their AI to write a bunch of articles on how to use a blender (the kitchen appliance) and couldn't be bothered to so much as read the titles before publishing them.

Task successfully failed(?).

I’ve taken to avoiding anything made after AI and searching for before:2023 to get away from the worst garbage.

Mind you, the web has been nearly unusable since 2018ish, so I tend to go for even older products. Feels like witnessing the fall of Rome, having to go to these lengths just to find basic info.

searching for before:2023

Google straight up ignores requests for filtering by age of article now.

DuckDuckGo respects your consent!

I think I’ve used google twice in the last year. Ddg works about as well as google, at this point
