> The basic idea is that you use generative AI to systematically churn out articles about a given topic and then use A/B testing to eliminate the ones that don't "work" on search engines in favor of the ones that do. This is a way to automate the process of creating content farms. Why does PageRank not combat this? The content shouldn't rank well unless high authority sites are linking to it? And if a high authority site started linking to AI generated junk, it would start losing its authority because it would start losing backlinks. > The basic idea is that you use generative AI to systematically churn out articles about a given topic and then use A/B testing to eliminate the ones that don't "work" on search engines in favor of the ones that do. This is a way to automate the process of creating content farms. It would be good if you could select a list of sites that you trust, so the sites they link to (and the sites those link to and so on) get boosted in your own personal search results. I recall Google was trying something like this with Google+. People could +1/upvote a site, and the upvotes from the people you followed would influence personalise your search results, but this went away when Google+ was shut down.
