Dave Dawkins (D. Harrigon)I do not use AI at all, at any stage of writing my books. I have the &udm=14 code in my search engine so I don't even use it for research.
J$@golgaloth &udm=14 means… you’re still putting yourself under Google surveillance, and still let Google manipulate you. It hints Google not to produce slop confabulations (good), but it won’t stop Google from producing “search results” that are pages produced by a slop engine.
You probably know this, and I know, preaching to the choir. Yet still, some may not be aware that a web used to exist outside of Google, Meta etc., and that some viable remnant of that still exists.
Jeff GriggAlso, there are other search engines.

(But, as you mentioned, people are filling the internet with Generative AI slop. There's no easy way to avoid that problem.)
