"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Wasn't Google actively pushing SEO, too? Like filtering information pollution wasn't a huge part of a search engine's job.
They were, and initially it was supposed to be a good thing (like every other thing Google takes on and going forward). They made it kinda mandatory if you want to be seen on Google. After Google started pushing ad business too, it became "ads inside SEO". It was not an optimization anymore.
