The last 25 years of Google’s history can be boiled down to a battle against the Google bomb. Is the search engine finally losing to its hijackers?

    I feel like the newest trend of hijackers are AI blogs/articles.
    I’ve noticed it with searching for some DIY tips. Trying to find some opinions on Vinyl emulsion Vs standard Matt emulsion. All I seem to find are strange-to-read “articles” with the same “information” repeated in multiple paragraphs, none of which is actually useful. Some of it straight up contradictory.

    Like, this article just reads really badly. Maybe it’s just bad writers trying to reach a word count.

    But it’s not just DIY stuff I’ve seen that with. There are so many search results now that just read like AI copy
