I totally agree with that. I've also found Google worse about being influenced by SEO tactics (probably just because it's targeted for that) and so you get bogus results like GeeksForGeeks that are often really poorly written and irrelevant, sometimes even wrong, up at the top.

The amount of AI articles that are a bunch of padded bullshit designed to get indexed as more credible "long form" sources is getting out of hand. Sometimes it takes a couple minutes to wade through the intro bullshit where they give a bunch of background yammering, and then you find out it's recycled trash is really starting to make research take time again.

IDK how you get around this but whichever search engine does will be very successful.
