No I think they mean the linked webpages in the results are websites entirely generated by AI that Bing search has indexed. I've noticed this, too, especially looking for guides or help with very niche topics. It's incredibly frustrating that not just the search engines but the web itself is filling up with AI slop.

That's exactly what has been happening with me I've noticed. DDG does it too. The top results are AI articles filled with useless filler words with no extra relevance to what I'm actually looking for. It's just the internet filling with slop. I need a search engine that doesn't give extra weight to these types of websites and actually gets me relevant guides, forums, posts, etc.

Oh like that, yeah, then that link won't help either. I've had that happen a few times as well, or maybe only noticed it a few times. It's very frustrating indeed.

I find it's primarily an issue when looking for information about products. Listicles have always been a pain, but now entire websites show up just to summarize every category of product without adding meaningful review or input.
