If you have tried to use a search engine to look anything up in the last few years you have seen AI generated articles that aimlessly meander for paragraphs without providing an actual answer to your question.
Those answers were previously (occasionally)contained within succinct articles written by someone who did some research or was an SME.
Maybe it was the case that content farms were degrading the ability for information to be found on the internet, but AI has basically dropped a nuke on search results.
It is a wasteland and nothing is alive there.

- lemoncookiechip 2y agoTo be fair to LLMs, you can create a custom rule for it to be brief and concise, or pretty much anything really. I personally blame the users who are actively trying to seem like wordsmiths by having all the pointless fluff around the meat and potatoes.
- Ekaros 2y agoI am not sure if AI is purely to blame for this. Looking at recipes I have to scroll through lot of text to see the recipe and ingredients list... Similar thing goes for product recommendations. I remember it being pretty bad even before LLMs.
