Not mine either, but I have noticed on HN that while there's plenty of deserved animus for the ills of adtech, there is little when it comes to the topic of generative AI.
We know that the lowest-hanging fruit use case for gAI will be to pollute the web further with machine-written content and clip art. It isn't to improve anyone's search results, it's to make somebody's bottom line go up, at the expense of the rest of us.
I wish more people would be upset about that. I mean we can already see what's happened to the web via SEO gaming. An even worse fate is coming once gAI really takes off.
"what's happened to the web via SEO gaming."
- The way I've been seeing it differs slightly...
Google's reactions to SEO over the years (and other reactions and actions) - has led to downranking so many good sites and props up sites that fit in with certain agendas.
Once more AI takes off, I expect many more niche search and find portals to be accessed on a regular basis which will bypass google's deranking and censoring, and also bypass any google SEO problems that people think exist.
