Not sure why you're getting downvoted, content farms have been a thing for a long time, and many a spam website used crappy markov chains to generate even more "content". Anything that could be marketed by company had its search results drowned in hand-crafted bland marketing slop, and even before ChatGPT got popular searching for things like recipes (or, god forbid, generic windows error messages) was a nightmare. And a lot of that garbage is in LLMs' training data.


> Not sure why you're getting downvoted

I don't know either. My guess is that they're angry because I am not angry about the things that they want me to be angry about. It happened before.
