The sewage has already been flowing for years. Now we're just going to have more of it.

Search results on both Bing and DDG have been rendered functionally useless for a year or so now. Almost every page is an SEO-oriented blob of questionable content hosted on faceless websites that exist solely for ads and affiliate links, whether it's AI-generated or underpaid-third-world-worker-generated.

You see how that’s worse, don’t you?

The thing that you initially said was, as I interpreted, that there’s a very large difference between no sewage and a little, since a low concentration is still dangerous. The response to you pointed out that we already have sewage in the supply, implying it may not make a huge difference to add more. I feel like you’re goalpost moving.

I'm agreeing with you. The only part i'm highlighting is that continuing a bad trend is even worse.

It was a growing trend even before ChatGPT was released. The trend accelerated, but it's not new.
