The site Google served me was called 1v9.gg, and is a scraped and then AI modified version of another site called GameBoost. It's the opposite of information, and it's ranked at the top. 1v9.gg/blog/marvel-... - ThreadSky

I'm a games journalist, and some of these sites regurgitate my own articles back at me, AI-translated into English, while still showing my name and photograph, like some kind of mirror universe me working for them.

I noticed this first when Starfield came out. Started googling for info on stuff and finding machine learning generated pages that were worse than useless, they were misleading with bad info. But whoever made it got their ad revenue.

Now I don't click on links for new websites I don't know already.

I have learned quickly to skip right on past the Google ai answers for video game stuff and go right to reddit or a YouTube video.

I myself have learned to skip right on past google and go to duck duck go or qwant for search. It’s still not great but there’s definitely less crust at the top.

This happened to me looking up Metaphor ReFantazio stuff. Ended up on a garbage website with completely made-up shit, telling me a new dungeon and a new class got added. Just, total fabrication, absolute lies. I hate the future bro this shit sucks!!!!!!!

I mean, I see that domain and it's immediately sus in my book. I wouldn't get anywhere near it to begin with...

The rot economy in action, man. Fabulists in the past at least had to actually compose the lies they put up to try and game search engines for ad revenue. Now you can bootstrap the entire thing and not author a word of it. Fucking gross.
