It's really "fantastic" how for almost any Internet search at least the first five results are bullshit AI slop.
What a colossal waste of time and energy while destroying a good thing and for what exactly?

@thomasfuchs Money for corporations.
That's the ultimate reason for everything behind enshittification as a whole. To put corporate profits first.
I miss the days when their usage of the Internet was just confused and awkward. It was almost cute back then. Who knew it would reach this level someday...
@thomasfuchs "for what exactly?"
@thomasfuchs the lols, I guess.
@thomasfuchs Only if you use Google or Bing. Use another search engine such as DuckDuckGo, Brave, Ecosia or Qwant.
@Anders_S I'm using Kagi and this stuff has infested literally all search engines.
@thomasfuchs I use Qwant and have not seen any AI-stuff in the top answers. Never.
@thomasfuchs Yes. The combo of AI “results” plus SEO farming means if the first 1-2 pages of search results have anything useful, it's a damn miracle
@paulmcaleer
It used to be madness to go beyond the first two pages of results. Now it's the other way round.
