If most US websites are garbage this can't happen soon enough. You can't even trust basic search anymore thanks to AI bs. People complain about nobody reading articles when they are ad-filled crap usually written by AI, I'd rather spend my time playing video games.
Good news, AI is coming to ruin video games as well!
