I added the followingt to ublock origin:
https://github.com/alvi-se/ai-ublock-blacklist

It is helpful when I’m searching for technical stuff. Technical contents are plagued with SEO spam and now slop.

So I make my search using @kagihq , I open in new tabs the 5 or 6 results that look useful. Out of those, one or two are usually blocked, which means I don’t even need to parse its content.

The bad news is that the remaining 4-5 tabs are often not useful either.

Best are StackOverflow posts from the 201* era.

Thanks for sharing this!

StackOverflow results are really great, it's a pity the site is dying. Depending on the topic, I can find similar results on Reddit nowadays, but we're progressively losing human posts documenting struggles they had and how they managed to solve the problem.

StackOverflow did have a bit of a culture issue though, seeming a bit hostile especially towards beginners at first. Nevertheless, having to dig through some replies and using critical thinking to find what you need is going away with LLMs spitting out plausible-looking code which might turn out to be utter bs.
