The Verge published this spam article about the “best printers of 2024” to demonstrate how terrible Google’s search results are. It now appears as the top non-sponsored post if you search “best printer” on Google.

I love a good, informative troll.

      He’s the one that would be doing the review. It isn’t about trying to “sneak in” AI content

        But he says right in the article that he’s including AI content at the bottom of the article, to pad it out.

        an article partially generated by AI, because after the buttons I am going to include a bunch of AI-generated copy from Google’s Gemini in order to pad this thing out.

        My point is if he’s being honest and that’s the true reason, or just being sneaky and trying to slip in AI content into a human written article.
