It's not just tech. Gardening, DIY, cooking, and similar popular subjects have been completely destroyed by this crap. If I see an AI generated header image or thumbnail I immediately backpedal now because I assume that means the text is bullshit too.
The example stuck in my memory now is when I was trying to read about watermelon growing times and the article said they flower a week after germination.There's now frequently this, "oh GOD DAMN IT *close tab*" moment when you realize it's actually total slop. Like, "oh so this article is BULLSHIT bullshit."
If I'm looking for information that doesn't need to be super recent/up to date, I just limit my search results to before November 2022 at least.
It's the "nuclear option" but it's worked for me a handful of times.
Now just wish DDG let me have that filter for the images tab to make finding new wallpapers easier for me...
