AI companies can make any information on the internet dissappear by generating millions of websites with related, but with AI-slop, content. AI slop is a big smoke screen.

So here is an example of how it's creating dead internet.

My cat recently had an injury to his gums. I was trying to look up a diagram of cat teeth because I wanted to rule out that a tooth was missing or not.

Cause there was a lot of blood. Anywho.

I search on duckduckgo, "cat teeth" and "cat tooth diagram". "Cat teeth layout". "Cat teeth health".

I tried a few things.

And literally 3/4th of the images are AI

So they aren't accurate at all. One I saw, was even from a vet clinic website.

Many Cat images were just a AI cat with human teeth but shrunk down.

In reality this is not how their teeth are.

I was getting incredibly irritated with the fact I could not find an accurate true image of cat teeth.

I still cannot find very many images of cat dental problems or what those look like.

Like maybe found 3 real images.

I just wanted to check if I could figure out what was going on. I did call the vet and talked to them twice and they are having me monitor him. But I told them on the phone I can't tell for sure where the blood came from. But possibly a puncture but possibly from a missing small tooth.

Who knows. I can't find an accurate photo of the premolar teeth to compare it to my cats.

I really feel like this wouldn't have happened 2 years ago

    Literally nothing but real photos and diagrams when I search for "premolar cat teeth"...

    Okay well apparently that actually helps.

    I honestly didn't think to search for the specific teeth I was interested in because I figured photos would have all the teeth.

    But I was pretty sure the injury was near a premolar or involved a premolar. That first tiny one near the front.

    Anywho. Yes. Thank you. That search works way better.
