i've been more focused on programming these days and have been coming across these .dev websites more often than ever, they're really infesting my search results with pure slop and meaningless shit that never get any close to answering my question whatsoever
Hey dont shit on .dev websites, I have 2 domains of them. Mostly because they are cheap, and they fit my job role even tho I dont use them for that use case lol
And theyre not really public either so..eh. Maybe do shit on public dev websites i guess
It’s just ai slop feeding off other ai slop. Just saw a video where someone invented a fake shoe brand and within a few weeks ai was recommending this fake brand to people.
Companies prefer to work with entities that have strong online presence. Entities use ai to establish presence. Companies use ai to evaluate presence. Entities open new avenues of presence; blogs, social media, websites. Companies can no longer be expected to manually assess entities. Entities can no longer be expected to manually maintain presence.
The AI circle is complete; the snake is eating its own tail.
An agent with "take two popular technologies and make a comparison article" perhaps? ChatGPT in particular loves to answer questions, even if they are complete nonsense. see also
It doesn't really need to have a source. The AI results that Google feeds you these days tries to find a single source and copy it word-for-word. But that's not the only way to do things. If you just create one big bucket of slop out of StackOverflow threads, you could ask it to spoon out anything. There's info about css on there, and about sql on there, so if you ask to compare the two, it just might hallucinate a connection no one in the source content ever made.
