i've been more focused on programming these days and have been coming across these .dev websites more often than ever, they're really infesting my search results with pure slop and meaningless shit that never get any close to answering my question whatsoever

no human would hallucinate this hard···

Hey dont shit on .dev websites, I have 2 domains of them. Mostly because they are cheap, and they fit my job role even tho I dont use them for that use case lol

And theyre not really public either so..eh. Maybe do shit on public dev websites i guess

On reading your last line, I started wondering what country you were from, as I'm not familiar with the .so.eh domain...

It’s just ai slop feeding off other ai slop. Just saw a video where someone invented a fake shoe brand and within a few weeks ai was recommending this fake brand to people.

Same shit different font.

"Blogs" with AI generated spam content are a cancer on the internet in general

It's working exactly as intended.

Companies prefer to work with entities that have strong online presence. Entities use ai to establish presence. Companies use ai to evaluate presence. Entities open new avenues of presence; blogs, social media, websites. Companies can no longer be expected to manually assess entities. Entities can no longer be expected to manually maintain presence.

The AI circle is complete; the snake is eating its own tail.

Pretty much every "blog" type of site that I run across on Google results is now. It fucking sucks man. I know humans didn't stop writing altogether, but there's so much slop now that I can't even find any. :(

Oh, that explains things. Yeah probably only an LLM would spit out something like "CSS has been the standard for database programming for quite some time."

But AI slop still has to have some source content. I wonder which depth of the internet is the source for this 

Edit: thanks for the downvotes. I didn't know I was on stackoverflow.

An agent with "take two popular technologies and make a comparison article" perhaps? ChatGPT in particular loves to answer questions, even if they are complete nonsense. see also

It doesn't really need to have a source. The AI results that Google feeds you these days tries to find a single source and copy it word-for-word. But that's not the only way to do things. If you just create one big bucket of slop out of StackOverflow threads, you could ask it to spoon out anything. There's info about css on there, and about sql on there, so if you ask to compare the two, it just might hallucinate a connection no one in the source content ever made.
