    Not necessarily disagreeing the whole principle...

    > All I hear is skill issue. Imagine needing an AI to write stuff.

    Grammarly users (and underrepresented non-English speakers) would complain.

      I use Grammarly at work (it's mostly to make sure our brand guidelines are kept) and I don't find that it (defaultly) corrects too far into the ai slop territory. It's mostly just making sure your sentence is correct.

      Op is going after AI slop bot farms like android authority

      I mean, the reason we use grammarly is because we recognize we have a skill issue.

      Personally I find that I prefer badly written english or auto-translated stuff written in languages foreign to me over ai generated or even just ai polished works I've seen. There is just so much more character, depth and variance there vs ultra ai generic or slop text.

      That being said this project seems focused on content farms not people who just need a little help writing so this whole conversation is a bit of a side tangent.

        I mean, I know it is probably tongue in cheek but that never-asked-question was particularly out of place. Massively generated AI contents are usually not THAT thoughtful anyway.

    A new more grounded list focused on specifically blocking content farms and similar low quality sites.

    A nice alternative to this very broad anti ai list: https://github.com/laylavish/uBlockOrigin-HUGE-AI-Blocklist

    Edit: Oh I should mention I found it through reddit and there is some good discussion there where they describe how they find stuff etc: https://www.reddit.com/r/uBlockOrigin/comments/1r9uo3j/autom...

        Oh good point I also overlooked that with the anti ai list.

        The big anti ai list also seems to be focused on hiding links from ddg/bing/google where this new more focused list just blocks sites. I tend to like block ones vs hiding because they pop up a nice warning no matter where I came from and I can still decide to ignore it if I want so they is more user agency instead of just quietly hiding a unclear chunk of the net from search engines.
