Report: Major Media Outlets Partnered With AI Company Are Filling Google With AI-Generated Trash

[...] Major media outlets have reportedly partnered with an AI company called AdVon Commerce to publish tens of thousands of fake product reviews and fill up Google Search results with piles of AI-generated trash.

While sites like InformationLiberation are manually blacklisted by Google's "trusted flaggers" for telling the truth, major media outlets which are manually whitelisted by Google for pushing regime propaganda are given top results for any garbage they publish.

Regime media have been taking advantage of this setup for years with low-quality clickbait but now they're taking spamming/SEO manipulation to a whole new level with AI.

I've suspected for quite some time those diversional "news article" clickbait sites ( like "She thought it was a dog. When the vet saw it, he called the Police! " ) are written by AI, designed to make you fish through myriads of buttons to get the next snippet of story.

    Excessive abuse of AI-generated trash will destroy the advertising industry completely.

    That's inevitable. Malice, every time it makes an epochal full circle trampling through society fabric, inevitably destroys itself.

    I am more concerned about of what comes in after current AI zest gone.

    "I am more concerned about of what comes in after current AI zest gone."

    Something even worse if the past trend holds as it usually does. Then the next hype/pump and dump cycle will begin only to repeated as always happens once they have squeezed those new morons who bought in dry. I have seen way to many of them in my lifetime to think anything else...

    God speed! Bated breath to see what idiocy pops up after.

    AI make advertising worse?

    I swear American advertising generally has got to be the most inane, boring, unimaginative thing out there. There are very few exceptions...like the Doritos ads...I love this one about an ignored dog competing with a TV for his owner's attention.

    But mostly, the Europeans have a lot better ads than we get. No wonder Americans disdain them so.

      In American reality, usually it is not dog but child.

      I do not own TV since 1995. Though I purchased many luxurious TVs as gifts for annoying family members ever since.
