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 Are you getting similar results from DuckDuckGo, etc.?
@quixoticgeek I'd be curious to see the difference if you ever ran your queries there and through other search sites. I've suspected for a while that Google has skewed its algorithm to favor Bard content. Sort of a preemptive strike against rivals like Microsoft Copilot.
Glad you found what you needed!
