ublock ai slop list? (lemmy.fish)

has anyone noticed pages that are just ai slop popping up recently? they have low quality information and serve no purpose but to waste time.

if you haven't experienced these, just search up a common tech problem and click on a generically named site. chances are, it will have a table of context and generally low quality writing. if you get lucky, there might also be some blatant lies in there(for example: this site claims garmin instinct watches have an sd card).

is there a ublock origin blocklist for these? thank you for suggestions.

Tried looking up how to bake wholemeal bread with just plain wholemeal flour and white bread flour (I can't buy wholemeal bread flour at my supermarket). AI really is everywhere and it's making the internet useless.

Guess I could've done the before:202X trick.

Increasingly find that search engines ignore instructions to filter by date or site, which coupled with ignoring all operands will kill off their utility entirely.

I guess we're going back to having to look up stuff on physical books. I love the future!

If you can find it, I keep a small bag of straight-up wheat gluten and I add a spoonful or two when I want to make stronger flour. A small bag lasts forever and a little goes a long way.
