The Verge published this spam article about the "best printers of 2024" to demonstrate how terrible Google's search results are. It now appears as the top non-sponsored post if you search "best printer" on Google.

I love a good, informative troll.

The thing is that the AI text is atrocious and vapid. It takes up a lot of space and says

"Laser printers are better in every way minus full color than inkjets, but are bigger and more expensive than inkjet printers."

The trick is that AI took 12 paragraphs and using a list incorrectly to do it instead of a sentence. And the editor calls it out for that.
