The post was interesting, but I also noticed something in the blog that had the same flavor. Even though the link was for a specific post, the page layout neatly flowed into another post. So smooth I thought the second post's title was a subheading of the original article. A strange thing, but maybe that's just me making connections that aren't there.

I listened to the playlist and it's definitely the same song over and over again with slight tweaks. Imagine finding dozens of blogs where posts are all the same, but with very slight changes to vocabulary used in each blog.

There has actually been a lot of that showing up in my google search results for the past few years… there are thousands of sites out there that were created by scraping news articles and blog posts and replacing random words with thesaurus alternatives.

The results vary from incomprehensible to some kind of uncanny valley “is this just…really terrible writing or am I having a brain problem?” territory.

I’ve actually encountered lively discussions of these sorts of cloned articles with nary a mention of the weird writing.

With what we’ve seen from AI text and image generators recently, it’s only going to get weirder soon.

Websites that scrape StackOverflow are the WORST!

It's always giving me false hopes that my problem got resolved until I notice that I've alrezdy read the question before.

There's one site that scrapes GitHub as well - it does at least have a link to the original page, but I've only ever opened it by mistake...
