ublock ai slop list? (lemmy.fish)

has anyone noticed pages that are just ai slop popping up recently? they have low quality information and serve no purpose but to waste time.

if you haven't experienced these, just search up a common tech problem and click on a generically named site. chances are, it will have a table of context and generally low quality writing. if you get lucky, there might also be some blatant lies in there(for example: this site claims garmin instinct watches have an sd card).

is there a ublock origin blocklist for these? thank you for suggestions.

Just today a number of my searches had me wondering whether AI slop generators were generating articles and suitably titled websites in response to the searches I was making on my search engine.

I don't know how they'd do that without being able to snatch search terms I make to my search engine (DDG, with its AI features disabled), just don't find it plausible that anyone is bothering to generate hundreds of sites on extremely narrow aspects of obscure topics, even if semi-automated.
