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.
