Its obvious when watching Google and Bing results.
Try to find any sort of objective information and the first 3-4 pages will almost all be AI generated garbage that took most of the information from some other highly outdated source that was garbage to begin with.
And as the engines are AI, they can automatically manipulate search results and keep dates and time stamps updated, so that whenever google visits, the page is always the "newest" information.
I wonder if this will push humanity to go back to books and libraries.
Books and textes on paper have one big favour: They are not as easy to change than digital textes.
