Back when I was your age, the cooking blogs were maintained by actual people pretending to be folksy women with a passion for food, and the bullshit they filled their pages with was understood as a tax we would both pay in order for search engines to connect content to consumer.

None of this AI-generated manipulation your generation accepts as normal, no sir.

OK so I know that “English muffin compared to ciabatta” is a pretty stupid search, let’s start with that.

But the results (from DDG) are entirely AI-generated. There are articles “written” on this subject on multiple websites, but they’re all the same garbage, apparently produced by the same person or group. (I can only add 4 images, but I have more screenshots of near-identical rubbish.)

I guess it’s not an important problem yet because there’s so much human-generated garbage out there for basically every thought that 2+ people have had. But what’s it going to be like when people are asking a new, important question and all the answers are this trash?

Fun times ahead!

He is risen to about double His original size. He is punched down, fillings are kneaded in, and He is shamed into a loaf. He is left for a final rise before He is baked.

It's a "Get Ready With Me" (GRWM) video, except it's just me sloppily putting on mascara and then wiping off 90% of it.

It's only cottage cheese if it's actually made in a cottage. Otherwise it's just lumpy milk.

This episode of Nova, with Western researchers asking questions about the origins of human settlement on Rapa Nui, would be a lot shorter if Western explorers and slavers hadn’t previously killed all the people who could answer them.

I don’t live with many regrets. But I do sometimes wonder how different my life would be if, 34-odd years ago, I had instead been incarnated as a small Japanese woodland critter with mystical powers granted by the leaf on my forehead.
