Not sure who is doing this exactly, if it’s DDG or Reddit or someone else. I was looking for a comparison of epic vs steam and noticed that the description of the search result is AI-generated, instead of actually showing anything from the thread.
A user asks why they should buy games on Steam rather than Epic, and gets various answers from other users. Some of the reasons include Steam’s features, performance, community, and exclusivity.
Next they are going to index the ai summary instead of the page. So we can get steam cleaning tips when we are trying to figure out how to change a setting in Steam desktop
I think that’s what’s already happening here. Reddit is intentionally giving useless information in the page summary to increase click through rates.
Incompetence is more likely.
This is incompetence
