I think today we can use LLMs to decide what websites are shit. The wheel is turning. SEO artists will have to provide actually useful, non-spammy content. If Google doesn't do it, some uBlock like service will implement it on user side. Or we'll just use chatGPT with search and not see the cesspool at all. You can edit its system prompt to avoid shit in search results.

Your comment assumes both that current LLMs can scale to replace Google which seems unlikely from. both a business and compute perspective.

And if they do, you'll get maybe a decade out of them before they succumb to the same problems as Google have.
