 I don't mind the art so much. The LLM SEO bomb blog posts and articles when trying to research are getting annoying. Giant walls of very basic information put 4 different ways to get all the keywords in. Only the wordiness gives it away that it isn't just a mediocre human blogger.

They are in weird places too. I'd expect it in tech. Recently couldn't easily find an article about aquaculture written by a human who had actually grown something that way. 
 This is another reason why SEO I think stops working in a world with Ai. And why the web of trust model makes a lot of sense for weighing information. 
 As long as we reimplement it in modern software and don't go back to netscape navigator. 
 I'm not so good at detecting via the wordiness mainly because I always skimmed through long form posts in the past. Wonder if its too late for me on that front.
AI comments on posts will be my downfall. :(
