I suspect we'll address this by just going back to older ranking algorithms for search. We'll go back to the primary signal of good content being links from trusted sources. People gaming the content based algorithms will eventually cause their own downfall.

Ironically this post is doing wonders for its page rank, as people are linking to it in the comments

Now that we have better ML, maybe we could take "link sentiment" into account too.

One of the issues is that the purpose of business internet writing is not to be read, but to be ranked well.

I think the bigger issue is that the percentage of internet writing that can be classified as "business writing" is growing significantly, now that the effort required to produce it is literally zero.

Overall, it feels like no matter where you go on the internet, it's impossible to dodge content that exists primarily for the purpose of extracting money from the reader in some way. SEO spam blogs, AI startups shilling their latest product, AI generated stories posted to reddit that casually slip in a mention of how the supposed author has recently won money on a gambling website. It's all the same thing, really.

Google it and the results were most likely high quality, written by senior engineers who knew what they were doing Today google that, and it will be endless amounts of slop

Well after 50 years we cant reproduce what Apollo did, and I would doubt current students of the same age would handle a 1912 Eight Grade Examination: https://www.bullittcountyhistory.com/bchistory/schoolexam191...
