Back in 2000, I wrote my first tech book using the manual and carefully selected mailing list archives.
At some point in the naughties, I switched to search engines and got high-quality results.
The current book? LLM spam is so bad, I have had to fall back to the manual and carefully selected mailing list archives.
The book topic is highly niche, of interest to only a teeny handful of hardcore Unix sysadmins. (Running an email server with postfix, dovecot, DKIM and DMARC, etc.)
If my super-niche topic is LLM-polluted, I can't image how bad it is for, say, the high school kid writing about their country's government.
(This might be a repeat, sorry if so. I forget what I've said to who.)
