It’s at the point now where the majority of the results of my web searches are clearly written by AI. You can look up the most obscure, difficult thing you can think of and you’ll miraculously find a 12-paragraph article about that exact topic that was “written” only just last month.
And as with most AI “content”, those 12 paragraphs say absolutely nothing. AI is incredibly good at generating an entire novel’s worth of text that doesn’t actually say anything at all.
Just tried that, and I couldn’t even find a blog post that addresses exactly what I was looking for. Sure, there were many about adjacent topics, but not my niche interest. However, the AI answer at the top did much better because it was specifically tailored for me.
However, when I’m looking for more general information, I do tend to find blogs written by AI.

I have been using the option to restrict to older dates quite often, in order to get good results

That’s a good idea.
