Re: Nearly all of the Google images results for "baby peacock" are AI generated
#72I 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?
I suppose the logic could be: if you're going to consume AI generated content anyway, why not use a setup where you have control over the system prompt and other parameters? Not sure if ChatGPT qualifies there, though.

#73Well, 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.
Creating a version of reality is significantly different from conjuring abject falsehoods. There is an objective reality for what (e.g.) a baby peacock should look like, and this AI slop is inherently misleading about that.

#74Or, consider using Wikimedia Commons, where images are painstakingly categorized, documented, and freely licensed: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Pavo_cristatus_(...
I’ve had a mild amount of success asking some nature photographers if they would be willing to make a few of their photos freely licensed so that they can be used on Wikipedia articles.
Wikimedia is a fantastic resource.

#75Earlier quoted context omitted.
It really is a werid feeling remembering the internet of my youth and even my 20s and knowing that it will never exist again.
A mesh network on top of IP with an enforcable license agreement that prohibits all commercial use would suffice to get the old net back. Bonus points if no html/css/js is involved but some sane display technology instead.
Without most of what makes the internet useful, sadly.

#76Wouldn'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…

#77Almost 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.

I'm a little sad for anyone who didn't get to experience the Internet of the twentieth century. It was a unique point in time.
I'm ready to pay for a walled garden where the incentives are aligned towards me, instead of against me. I know that puts me in a minority, but I'm tired of the advertising 'net.

#78I noticed recently when searching for images of cities that they're nearly all over-the-top unrealistic HDR images, beyond what you used to find in an travel agent's catalogue.

Kagi's results for "baby peacock" are showing almost the same set (Mostly AI) as Google's.

> 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...

What do you mean by this? How do you find the old internet?
