Somebody should do something!
SEO destroyed the internet years before AI showed up.
Google's trying to find the guy responsible for all this
So, you're telling me google search has gotten so bad it can't even find info on its own workers?
To be fair, the actual article links to the paper and the real punch is that the research does not point to any of the many AI blunders made by google itself
Also, my personal highlight from the article
If you read the paper, you can't help but conclude that the "misuse" of generative AI often sounds a lot like the tech is working as intended. People are using generative AI to make lots of fake content because it's really good at doing that task, and consequently flooding the internet with AI slop.
