AI generated content is going to make search engine results effectively useless. The only reasonable conclusion to that end is that AI will be needed to answer the questions we used to rely on Google Search for.
Has there ever been a situation like this before?
An endless loop of AI generated content that gets posted to the web as original human generated content, with LLMs getting re-trained on this content and spitting out more content that also gets re-posted, resulting in a cesspool of BS masquerading as organic knowledge. I'm old enough to remember when Google provided meaningful search results rather than just SEO spam, the problem is about to get an order of magnitud…

Heck,…
