> 90% CL: Top search engine results completely inundated by LLM text

Are you sure you meant this as a prediction for 2025? It has been months, if not years, since search engines have been inundated by LLM articles.

The pursuit of advertising dollars has even made many long-tail queries worthless. Results often are a pile of AI-generated spam sprinkled with display ads and biased affiliate links. Ad blockers can deal with some of that, but there remains the problem of not finding appropriate results to many search queries.

This has been the sad state of the web for quite some time, and it’s just going to worsen.
