I noticed several months ago a sharp decrease the quality of the results for technical questions and product reviews.

For the technical questions, Google went from returning stack overflow, Reddit posts or the occasional blog post to return websites that manifestly just parse stack overflow.

For product reviews, it was already difficult to find reviews made by real persons and not companies, but it seems now that almost all webpages returned by Google are computer generated

I cant tell if Google Search Engine's quality decreased or if those pale copies of SO became very good at SEO

That’s the same thing. The quality decreases when the automated trash can beat the system.
