Google appears to be taking a more cautious approach with AI Overviews by prioritizing sites other than forums such as Reddit, SE Ranking found.

      There is a large collection of poorly written articles/blogs on LinkedIn, actually. They are just bad enough to be good enough for Google.

      Strangely enough, LinkedIn is owned by Microsoft. If Microsoft actually let Google use it as a data source, it was to sabotage Google’s AI training.

      You mean… LinkedIn? If there’s any site that perfects the shitpost, it’s LinkedIn. Everyone is bullshitting their pants off there.

    “wait what if someone asks a question and Google AI quickly directs that person to the most relevant resources. Now wouldn’t that be a great innovation.”

    Well, here’s the part where I hope people are able to make a Wikipedia alternative so we can turn Wikipedia into a cesspool to ensure the enshitification of gøøg|e. That, and if I ever get a Wikipedia article made about me (which will probably never happen), I’m signing up with an account and absolutely trashing it to say things that will cause whatever any AI looking at it to spout the most absurd shit.
