Not defending this, but it’s annoying because Google and all search engines results are being poisoned by AI written slop. It seems like LLMs may provide a better search experience, but it’s also the thing ruining the search experience.

I don’t really know what I’m talking about, but I imagine if AI slop is ruining search, it will also start to ruin itself when the current slop is used to train future LLMs. Basically I think AI will short circuit itself long term.

Now, will it short circuit itself enough for Microsoft to stop shoving it down our throats, probably not.
