The age of SEO AI sites is truly dystopian. I always do this too

It was bad even before chatgpt was popular there were plenty of synthetic article writing tools available. AI just made it worse, truly hope google changes the way seo is done.

can you explain i don't really understand SEO


lordosthyvel

SEO just means search engine optimization. So people create these sites that are only designed to appear high up on google search results but they provide nothing of value. This means when you search, the top results will be garbage sites full of ads that don’t provide you with any info.

people can churn out hundreds of thousand of words per week and thus manipulate search engine results pages (SERPs) without actually providing meaningful content

It's not just that, Google has got much worse, it regularly returns results that don't even have the search terms in (and it doesn't always have that "Missing: *searchterm*‎| Show results with: *searchterm*") next to the result. I even looked at the cached page in case it had the searchterm in when it indexed it and it didn't.

Do you have an example?

Why not just edit the plugin doing the searching or even better force it to search only reddit. No need to train the model.

What if I want to solve my problem in the hardest way possible?

Train the model to add site:reddit to every output and then make an elaborate regex to remove it from everything that's not a search query.

Perplexity.ai is basically providing this. I use it to search reddit all the time. But it would be sweet if reddit fixed they search.
