Can you elaborate?

I'm just getting a more general evolving sense that the writing/information quality of top results for random topics on Google are diminishing. Probably just in my own little echo-chamber I suppose, thought it might be interesting to hear outside perspectives

Not sure where you are getting the connection to GPT-3, but I think that sentiment around dismissing quality of Google results and the web at large are pretty common among HN users.

I think it is just harder to find fun / small websites and forums than it used to be. A lot of communities are moving to platforms like discord which are not discoverable or able to be navigated easily from a web browser. As for small websites and blogs, I think they still exist, they just seemed to get passed around less often than news articles. I bet that is in part because there are simply less small websites and blogs to be shared than the sheer volume of news articles that come out every hour.
