A decade ago, Google would have made a real effort to stop this, as it would have ruined the user experience for Google Search. The proof of this is in their algorithm update in 2011 ("Panda")[0] that among other things, severely downranked the deluge of free blog account sites that posted nothing but copied material (to rank for search terms) and surrounded them with spam links and ads. If you were online in the late 2000s, you'll remember how many of these trash sites there were back then. Today, search is horrible to use because Google has for years let these spam sites proliferate. Generative text content is the 1.5C event for text search engines -- it's too late to reverse it, we just have to find higher ground somehow.
