AI companies can make any information on the internet dissappear by generating millions of websites with related, but with AI-slop, content. AI slop is a big smoke screen.

So here is an example of how it’s creating dead internet.
My cat recently had an injury to his gums. I was trying to look up a diagram of cat teeth because I wanted to rule out that a tooth was missing or not.
Cause there was a lot of blood. Anywho.
I search on duckduckgo, “cat teeth” and “cat tooth diagram”. “Cat teeth layout”. “Cat teeth health”.
I tried a few things.
And literally 3/4th of the images are AI
So they aren’t accurate at all. One I saw, was even from a vet clinic website.
Many Cat images were just a AI cat with human teeth but shrunk down.
In reality this is not how their teeth are.
I was getting incredibly irritated with the fact I could not find an accurate true image of cat teeth.
I still cannot find very many images of cat dental problems or what those look like.
Like maybe found 3 real images.
I just wanted to check if I could figure out what was going on. I did call the vet and talked to them twice and they are having me monitor him. But I told them on the phone I can’t tell for sure where the blood came from. But possibly a puncture but possibly from a missing small tooth.
Who knows. I can’t find an accurate photo of the premolar teeth to compare it to my cats.
I really feel like this wouldn’t have happened 2 years ago
Literally nothing but real photos and diagrams when I search for “premolar cat teeth”…
Okay well apparently that actually helps.
I honestly didn’t think to search for the specific teeth I was interested in because I figured photos would have all the teeth.
But I was pretty sure the injury was near a premolar or involved a premolar. That first tiny one near the front.
Anywho. Yes. Thank you. That search works way better.
There’s also a setting in duckduckgo that removes images flagged with AI. It might catch some real images that get accidentally flagged, but it largely gets ride of most of it. Some garbage still sneaks through.
