It appears that Google is letting Reddit's AI translated pages rank too well within its search results. This is in addition to Google letting Reddit get a lot of other search visibility, but AI translation, well, that should really not perform so well.

Reddit sold Google the rights to train AI models using their (our?) data a year ago. Any trained model will recognize the data it was trained on and rank it highly.

For me Reddit is something of an old archive at this point. If i want to interact with people to discuss, i go elsewhere.
