Is it just me, or is has an ocean of AI slop subsumed all human produced (i.e. actually useful) content when one is looking for detailed technical info on a given subject?

Is it just me, or is has an ocean of AI slop subsumed all human produced (i.e. actually useful) content when one is looking for detailed technical info on a given subject? Trying to find good info on the kinds of adjustments that I routinely make to my industrial sewing machines has become a nightmare! Almost all results are some wordy blog post/article that looks suspiciously like the last wordy blog post/article in a cookie cutter layout with little to no real information.

@elfkin I've started to see people here on the fediverse ask for link recommendations instead of using a search engine, which to be fair tends to be a somewhat effective method.
