Right up there with TPTacek in terms of security research (and sharing with us!). Big thanks and really mad respect.

The uncomfortable truth is that a decent proportion of the internet’s blog content was probably created solely for SEO purposes. But at least someone wrote it and put some degree of effort into it. Now you can just create content lazily and not need to care. I met someone recently who was starting a new business and they were creating loads of AI-written articles for their blog that they didn’t even bother proof-reading because someone had told them that was important for Google ranking.

Is there a way, like Google used to do before they started rewarding SEO spam, that good content rises to the top based on criteria.

For one topic, I may want to read 100% human written content. Another topic, I may be okay okay with Human+AI content. And yet another, 100% AI content.

But above all, I also want that content to be high quality regardless of what wrote it.

I'm also sick of reading AI-written posts. But I'm also also sick of seeing this same blog post reiterated every other day with slightly different wording.

AI slop articles and replies are bad; everyone who isn't a SEO grifter knows this. Why does it need to be repeated ad nauseam?
