    Wow. That is fucked up.

    TL;DW: If AI (Gemini) doesn’t write the text for your website, google will ignore you.

    NewSpeak ahoy.

      Could this be turned into a business opportunity for someone to start a search engine prioritizing real websites that don’t sound like AI? It could carry some advertising or charge for a no-ads version. People would use it. What are the main obstacles that stop anyone doing this? Is it just this scale of the modern internet or the expense of training a model to downrank anything that smells like AI? Or is it that all the people who might provide initial funding are all-in on AI slop?

        I mean that already exists. It’s called Kagi. But Google retains like 99% of the market because no one gives a shit and can’t be bothered to adjust their default settings.
