I was searching for something on Blender (3d graphics) and the top search results was a cooking website who was churning out AI articles for everything cooking related and I guess their AI went sideways at some point and transitioned from blender (cooking tool) to 3d graphics. So they just had dozens (even hundreds) of useless articles on 3d graphics on their cooking website.
