I pretty much agree. Current consumer-grade AI is utter bullshit.

It is compounding a problem we already had: crappy websites with zero useful
content that plague search engine results. It used to be bad. Now, machine
generated sites are making the most common subjects unbrowsable because
anything useful will be buried undr a sea of AI crap.

I have found some fringe search engines to be useful to mitigate this. For
example, Marginalia has a mode in which sites with advertisements are excluded
from results, and since most of the AI crap is done for profit, it removes so
much of it. Wiby is also ok in this regard. The bad news is these search
engines have small indexes.
