In the recent days I’ve been stumbling upon weird, new so-called “AI” Mathy-math-slop sites, like linuxv*x.com[1]. Some other was called something like “tutorialsipedia”, or whatever.

Have you noticed these? Is that some weird new Startup that wants to leverage CEO and “AI”? I’d use them, but my eyes glaze off the page. It’s like a drop on a Lotus leaf and I can’t really read that garbage. What’s up with those?

  1. Don’t want to give them the traffic. ↩︎

    That’s just how search engines go now.
    Lately I’ve been seeing websites that steal content from Stack Overflow verbatim rank higher than the same SO page itself.

    There’s AI slop websites for everything now. Flood the zone with enough garbage that traditional search engines can’t find anything, force people to use AI where the narrative is controlled.

      SEO-based business models used blogspam before. It’s the same SEO garbage that gets it into search results, but the content is now AI slop instead of contracted labour at pennies/word.

      And search is garbage, now, because of enshittification; Google gets more money when you give up and couch the sponsored links, and re-query or load more pages of results to load more ads. So there’s no incentive for them to filter the spam.
