I love this trend of "feature that is like something that already exists but is shittier and uses more resources"
A lot of this content was already auto-generated in the sense that there are a lot of sites which operate on the business model of generic structure, data scrape, generate article about release date of popular movie or game. I imagine as a replacement of those sites this might actually be a mild improvement... well until it starts hallucinating release dates and also performs worse than human scrapers confusing new movies with ones they are remakes of or just have similar titles.
Like I said shittier and consumes more electricity
I wish Google would just start having a policy of immediately delisting those websites from search results, or at least deprioritizing or graying them out. If it falls under a certain category of website, it should meet certain quality standards. Like I assume they already do for medical information.
If they had a more general search version of Google Scholar where it was all stuff that Google reasonably thinks was actually made by other humans, that would improve things a lot.
Also ad "features that exist, are now shittier, and btw, you now have to pay and oh also btw yes you will have ads even with payment. Problem? Go fuck yourself."
Great trend
