#22flip it, and build green(organic) lists
perhaps work towards having sites than dont just, not use AI, but never talk about it
it's not just AI, search is a scam, no mojo in the world can extract the contact info for the business next door and the mountains of porncoin, scamulous garbage and hate news
taking up a full 50% of whats left, does in fact make a determined effort to greenwall a section of the web something to consider

This specific list from this specific author isn’t worth using since they refuse to remove items from the list if domain ownership changes.
E.g., bought a domain that previously hosted AI content.
E.g., Whitehouse.com used to be a porn site, now it’s not.

#24Admirable idea and execution…but it does apply opposing evolutionary/economic pressure for AI-slop to become less detectable over time. AI will learn and adapt. Metaphorically speaking, it’s the Borg we’re dealing with, not the Klingons. All Janeway did was slow the Borg’s progress.
Cory Doctorow wrote a story ~20 years ago about how the first sentient machines would be spam bots because their job is to pass as human, and anti-spam systems provide competitive evolutionary pressure. He may not be too far off.

If you don't know English and you want to write English anyway, please just use a machine translator.
And the machine translator is using AI to translate the text

We were close but the app dominance declined.

#28Ublock Origin also already has an “AI widget” blocklist you can enable. Literally the only extension that keeps me on Firefox because of how useless it is on Chromium.

I use Grammarly at work (it's mostly to make sure our brand guidelines are kept) and I don't find that it (defaultly) corrects too far into the ai slop territory. It's mostly just making sure your sentence is correct. Op is going after AI slop bot farms like android authority
