I want to:
1) Welcome new bluesky users / twitter refugees and
2) Give a fair heads up that I don't automatically follow back. This only because if I don't limit the intake on my feed it'll drive me nuts. So *please* don't take it personally.

If you don't know by now to ignore AI "Overviews" and "recommendations", you're a dumbass and deserve the slop you get.
As to the fake websites, well good luck. The purveyors of AI slop need to get copyright sued out of existence, but that ain't gonna happen.

NEW: AI “recipe slop” is overrunning search and social. Food creators say Google’s AI Overviews and glossy fake food pics are drowning out real, tested recipes — collapsing traffic and setting home cooks up for disaster, especially this Thanksgiving.

Google at its peak was basically the best information retrieval system in human history and they and every competitor decided going from there to “you didn’t want answers you wanted half-assed auto-complete 80%-wrong hallucinations” in a few years was the right idea
