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.

I have been worried about this for months. The moment of clarity for me came when I was looking up how to tan a hide fur off. I have done fur on and seen a dozen videos on it so I knew what I was looking at. Found this great looking site. Step by step. As I'm reading, something seems off. Maybe translation issues? The order here seems... Repeatative?

Then I look at the pictures.

First picture showed a hide being made into a drum. Ok, not exactly what I'm doing but yeah maybe similar process.... Next picture is of a dudes abs, with a tan line.... (Tanning the hide)

Next picture is a head table for a wedding... (Decorating)

It was surreal. And it is surreal. We are now returning to a time when we can't access information easily. Not because it isn't there, but because it's crowded by misinformation and half information.
