Just heard this today - co worker used an LLM to find him some shoes that fit. Basically prompted it to find specific shoes that fit wider/narrower feet and it just scraped reviews and told him what to get. I guess it worked perfectly for him.

I hate this sort of thing - however this is why normies love LLM's. It's going to be the new way every single person uses the internet. Hell, on a new win 11 install the first thing that comes up is copilot saying "hey use me i'm better than google!!"

Frustrating.

So we have two problems: SEO gamification and now slopification. Expecting the same sorts of companies who let these problems become existential to fix these problems is…well, I have a bridge in Brooklyn I'd like to sell ya. 😂

I don't expect a fix, heh. I expect it to be squeezed past the grave. The search-crawlable internet is burning down, and no one with power is slowing it.

I suspect the 'web' will just get more balkanized into apps and such, and all the AI/search providers will reach into their own little silos for stuff.
