Well fuck.
Just did a Google image search as part of some research into something in the medieval era. Well over half of the results are from some kind of ai image generation site. Argh. Totally useless for research purposes.
Search engines need an "exclude AI content" option.
@quixoticgeek the web has been dead for years, and it's not AI that killed it. It's SEO "optimization" and googles complete unwillingness to discriminate between websites with value and copy/paste ad farm trash.
None of the trash would exist if it wasn't profitable. Google ads make them profitable.
