I’ve taken to avoiding anything made after AI and searching for before:2023 to get away from the worst garbage.

Mind you, the web has been nearly unusable since 2018ish, so I tend to go for even older products. Feels like witnessing the fall of Rome, having to go to these lengths just to find basic info.
