Going to? It already has. I get about 50 articles for software fixes that have a lot of hot garbage in them before getting to the point. For example I had a discord issue and instead of laying out a fix, the “article” apparently needed a multi paragraph ChatGPT explanation of what discord is before even attempting to show remedies.

People like to make fun of the "2000 word backstory before actually getting to the recipe" about cooking sites, but now I'm finding it with everything. Tried to find news about Baldurs Gate cross-play, and stumbled my way through a giant incoherent mess of an article that had nothing to do with the title.

The funny thing about recipe spam is that now the best cooking information is youtube, even though objectively it seems like a video would be a bad format for a recipe, at least with youtube you know up-front how long the video is going to be, and the ingredients are generally in the description.

It’s really infuriating because you constantly feel like they’re about to get to the point.

Maybe as a protest I’ve been hammering on bottom-line-up-front in all of our team communications.

It feels like there's a place for an semi-intelligent browser that consolidates and filters all this crap content to get to the point, wikipedia style. Includes images and you read it like a page, not chat interface. "WebGPT", etc.

So, Edge?

Not really what I meant, that still has a search-engine results page vibe. I meant when you search you get a singular, readable page back about whatever topic. It basically hides and filters the backing content, expect for maybe reference links at bottom.
