More of a “waiting while cloud flare verifies my humanity thought” but this is the closest c/ I could find.

    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.

    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.

        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

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

          Even with Adblock the sites are garbage and it’s frustrating to scroll through a bunch of nonsense to find the recipe and then decide I don’t like it. It’s much easier to have a few recipes summarized for me.

            One of my go to sites has a jump to recipe button…works on my computer but fails on my phone 😔

            The recipes are good enough to put up with the inconvenience
