Wow. AI enabled Zapier to create ~29,800 variations of landing pages... Just so they can market to anyone who googles some variation of apps that Zapier offers integrations for. 29,800 virtually worthless, promotional content-marketing articles.

Essentially, AI is polluting human-written content with bland, AI-written content. This is terrible.

This is the type of thing that makes the internet less valuable and less usable. There should be a disclaimer on content/articles created by AI. To filter them out from a web search would be a fantastic feature.

If Google won't enable AI-filtering AI, they'll become irrelevant, and people will migrate, just as they did away from Altavista.

I'd be surprised if Google didn't already devalue "content" created by GPT-3.
