      I’m pretty sure they’re using automated tools to generate this shit too. They just stuff it full of nonsense like a C-student in an English class trying to make a word count minimum.

      The worst are articles about when you search when the new season of a show starts. You then get recommendations for junk articles, written just like this, that don’t even have the fucking answer.

      The year it peaked is debatable , but the Internet on a whole is just getting worse.

          Like SEO on steroids, articles written by AI will become longer and longer, while AI will try harder and harder to summarise it all. Article size will grow exponentially.

          It’s 2032, each webpage is now 5 to 10 GB of Text and ads. 99.9% of the Web traffic is AI traffic. Roughly half is AI reading content to summarise it, the other is AI posting content.
