Well, nearly all of the Google Images results for "Woman" show a woman with makeup and additionally the photos were altered via Photoshop. We have been creating our own reality even before AI.

Almost all of the "product X vs Y" results are AI ramblings now. This growth of the dead Internet is making me want to sign up for Kagi. We're going to need a certification for human generated content at some point.

Searching with "Reddit" at the end of every query helps but I suppose it's only a matter of time when most content on Reddit is also AI-generated.

It's also not much use to anyone who doesn't use Google ever since Reddit started blocking all crawlers besides Googlebot. Old cached results might still show up in Bing/DDG/Kagi but they can't index any of the newer stuff.

I stopped using Google search...why even bother now. Results are just some crappy page with ads. Aastroturfed wikpedia page is also suspect. Chatgpt can answer questions in seconds. Just not sure if correct, but most of the time more than good enough. I feel like Google is destroying their credibility by day. Just go to zoo to see peacocks and take pictures. At least it will be an real experience not some virtual man…

The described problem is AI-slop in Google, and your solution is to drink directly from the spigot of ChatGPT?

My solution is to use the computer as little as possible. Go see the world to know what a peacock looks lie. Last time I've seen Peacocks was in Lisbon in St. George's castle, 4 years ago. The kind of questions I ask ChatGPT, are mostly code questions. Or for it to help me with planning something. I ask it questions, and it can provide some sort of logic behind the answer which I can then reason about. Sure it can mislead me, but it's more like an ongoing conversation I'm having with it. So its more like an opinion I'm getting, and I discount it. I'm generally a skeptical person. So I'm well aware of the manipulations that are happening online. Google is just a weaponized player in misinformation warefare at this point. It purposely will go out of its way to build consensus, for conflicts. Bunch of technocratic Billionaire overlords would get you to support genocide if it would benefit them. So I just don't trust google at this point for anything news related. And the rest of their content seems to be just a giant trap of spam pages.

Question is how long till you can’t tell the difference

My FAANG working spouse thinks that AIs and Robocallers should be mandated to identify themselves. She thinks a audible "Beep-boop" at the end of a sentence for calls and video would be appropriate.

I support that idea. Along with properly implemented authentication so you can't just spoof your way to someone's phone, and painfully stiff fines for violators.

> This growth of the dead internet It is quite surreal to witness. It is certainly fueled by the commercialization of internet due to ads and centralization to user hostile platforms. The old internet seems to be doing much better. But it lost most of its users in the last 15 years...

The old internet seems to be doing much better. But it lost most of its users in the last 15 years.. What do you mean by this? How do you find the old internet?

Something Awful is a good example. Other forums behind paywalls or ones that are invite only.

Kagi is not a panacea unfortunately. I pay for it and daily drive it to support a Google alternative, but I still have real trouble with my results being full of AI garbage (both image and text search).

As mentioned, product comparisons are a big one but another worrying area is anything medical related.

I was trying to find research about a medicine I'm taking this week and the already SEO infested results of 5 years ago have become immeasurably worse, with 100s of pages of GPT generated spam trying to attract your click.

I ended up ditching search alltogether and ended up finding a semi-relevant paper on the nih.gov and going through the citations manually to trying and find information.

Facebook is flooded with this! Fake photo of poor people asking for help and you see thousands of like and people commenting how they can help

A good chunk of those replying will be bots

What’s the idea? Why do they use bots to reply?

Make a search engine that doesn’t have AI result except when I specifically ask for it, or you soon won’t have a search engine business.

A really quick fix is to search with “-ai” and that Google doesn’t do this implicitly for images is really strange.

Wouldn't surprise me if in a few years Google, for certain keywords: - autogenerates URLs (tha look legit) - autogenerates content for such URLs (that look kinda legit) All of this would be possible if one is using Chrome (otherwise the fake URLs wouldn't lead to anywhere). Of course, full of ads. Think about it, some people are not really looking for some web site that talks about "baby peacocks". They are looking f…

Like a search engine?

Like a "generate engine".
