The simple solution is not to rely upon AI. It's like a misinformed relative after a jar of moonshine, they might be right some of the time, or they might be totally full of shit.

I honestly don't know why people are obsessed with relying on AI, is it that difficult to look up the answer from a reliable source?

    With the current state of search engines and their content (almost completely unrelated garbage and shitty blogs make in like 3 minutes with 1/4 of the content poorly copy-pasted out of context from stackoverflow and most of the rest being pop-ups and ads), YES

    SEO ""engineers"" deserve the guillotine

    because some jobs have to produce a bunch of bullshit text that no one will read quickly, or else parse a bunch of bullshit text for a single phrase in the midst of it all and put it in a report.

    Sites like that can be blacklisted with web browser plugins. Vastly improved my DuckDuckGo experience for a while, but it'll be a Whack-A-Mole game from both sides, and yet again my searches are littered with SEO garbage at best, and AI-generated SEO garbage full with made up stuff at worst.
