I wish there was a system to verify that a webpage was written by an actual human before showing me it

  Maybe something like a crowd sourced browser extension to block or warn against a blacklist of known slop sites?

    Some search engines let you block sites from future results. If I’m on my desktop, I’ll knock out the obvious ones on the first page of a search. I’m hoping one day I get them all and can eradicate it once and for all.

    There is this: github.com/…/uBlockOrigin-HUGE-AI-Blocklist

    I’ve been hoping something like this comes along. I dont have the time or knowledge to do it myself.

  kinda in the mold of what you want: https://github.com/laylavish/uBlockOrigin-HUGE-AI-Blocklist

    Wow. uBlock Origin is a lot more useful that I originally thought. Thanks.

  It’s getting ridiculous. The internet is ruined.

  Search for something simple like how to change a tire and you get a 10 page article starting with “Firstly, what is a tire? Well…”

    First of all, that’s an amazing question. You’ve tackled a serious issue in car mechanics (emdash) not only is it a common issue drivers face, but it’s foundational to the understanding of vehicular operations.

  Make the author solve a CAPTCHA for each page load too.

  • Fedizen@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    A search engine that does something like this might actually be pretty revolutionary.

    Does your website have a phone number with a real person that answers? No? Gtfo

    • betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      Mostly, I was just enjoying the mental image of some beleaguered tech blogger wearily solving CAPTCHA after CAPTCHA when they get slashdotted or something.

  I’ve started to add date limits to my web queries for things that don’t require current information like recipes.

  No I do not want to see your AI slop recipe for tomato sandwiches “author” from 2025, I’ll go with a shitty web blog from 2021 thank you very much.

    AI has helped me with recipes more than anything else. It skips over all of the advertising slop and stories that recipe sites have.

      It skips over all the advertising slop and stories

      That’s what ad block and a scroll wheel are for.

      Find better websites. Use kagi.

      Same tbh. Ive done more cooking now then ever because i can just ask for substitues then and there. I will say, against slop, i have noticed the old recipe site style but with that AI slop verbosity out there. I find that worse then what it was.

      Homesteaf blogs also tend to have helpful.hints i like thst ai would know to tell me

  With the quality of Assumed Intelligence detectors, this is unlikely to ever come to pass, especially since humans are involved.

  Nothing on a screen can be trusted. If only they weren’t so addictive…

    I assume everything I read on the Internet is someone’s opinion. Unless it’s about an Internet thing, by the company that made that thing.

    Like finding usage articles for Windows/office/whatever, on Microsoft’s website…

      Half of Microsoft’s documentation is just fanfiction anyway

    Maybe don’t take some randos blog post a face value

  Crowdsourced block list is probably the best approach to this.

  Then people could apply that blocklist however they prefer.

  It's honestly getting to the point where I almost wish someone with know how would train an AI to block AI slop from my internet

  source

  • TheFriendlyDickhead@feddit.org ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    You don’t even have to realy train anything. There are more than enought ai checkers online. You would simply have to package one of them in a browser addon

      If you ever see such a thing, please let me know. My areas of expertise lie in other places.

  Realistically, if someone wanted to put a bunch of nice, sounding garbage in front of you to farm clicks/ad impressions, does it really matter how it was made? Like, maybe they used AI to generate a bunch of good sounding text, but what if they just paid some company to have extremely cheap labor from some areas of the world write it instead?

  You’d be viewing human written information, but it’s still garbage.

  • squaresinger@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    That’s fair. Slop existed before AI too. If there was only a search engine algorithm that could rank how relevant a web page is… Someone could make a lot of money with that, maybe even build a huge corporation on that idea.

      That would be a great service, shame no one has tried that yet.
