What's the deal with these slop-y Linux tutorial "blogs"? (slrpnk.net)

In the recent days I've been stumbling upon weird, new so-called "AI" Mathy-math-slop sites, like linuxv*x.com[^1]. Some other was called something like "tutorialsipedia", or whatever.

[^1]: Don't want to give them the traffic.

Have you noticed these? Is that some weird new Startup that wants to leverage CEO and "AI"? I'd use them, but my eyes glaze off the page. It's like a drop on a Lotus leaf and I can't really read that garbage. What's up with those?

    It’s happening to all difficult problems. I’ve been searching for help with car wiring diagram or trouble codes and getting endless copies of slop scraped websites from DDG.

    They often appear to be generated on the fly and rarely have any real information in them past the relevant search term. No real info. Super fucking frustrating.
