I've seen this blog slop on Google for the last month or so, no action taken whatsoever. it's mostly bullshit or regurgitated info from docs.
like Google or their Search team really doesn't seem to care at all. all of a sudden a random blog website just happens to rank first page on every topic
I have to imagine that one quality post worth reading would be linked in multiple places, thus would beat tens of thousands of slop articles for SEO purposes?
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 due to slop I feel like we are regressing as a civilization
2020, want to know how to use Redix for Redis connections in Elixir? 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
Now we know why GitHub has a hard time with stability and reliability. Because of this AI slop BS inflicted on us by the Silicon Valley tech bros and all their followers.
Serious question: What is this post about and why should we care? It's a repo with 35 stars. Is adding 12,000 posts in a single commit somehow technically difficult or significant?
We are all quickly becoming allergic to AI writing.
To fool us into thinking writing is not AI generated, we will create "human-ifying" filters to the LLM. This will introduce common keystroke, grammar, and spelling issues that surely no automation would ever create on its own.
Soon the writing most vaunted and trusted will be the writing that appears written by a 4 year old with a crayon.

wonder when will he submit them here.
I guess that means the log message was authored by AI as well. Figures.
I miss the days when we could assume that's just a pagination code bug

Do what I say, not what I do.

Sigh.
