AI scammers are killing all my hobbies (www.zdnet.com)

Like most people, I use the internet to look for inspiration for my hobbies, like cooking, baking, crochet, lettering etc. AI scammers and AI slop are killing my enthusiasm though. I'm using too much time and energy to sift though all the crap in order to find some gems.

What I need is some place to collect and curate trustworthy websites and do a websearch in those sites instead of the whole web whenever I need a recipe or are looking for my next fiber project. Does anybody have ideas or tips how to pull that of?

That is not so outragious, actually! My mother was also a crafty type and I inherited a ton of books and copies when she died. They are patiently waiting somewhere in my hobby room, since it is so easy to search on the net. Since every decade is becoming trendy again at a certain point in time, this is a treasure trove waiting to be discovered. I mean, I have a whole series of recipe booklets and crochet patterns from the 70s!

I have learned to appreciate a good index. You can literally tell the good books from the bad ones by how useful the index is I swear.

Also when I want to be able to search them as long it's scanned right and I've got a digital copy I can do Ctrl+F.
Its annoying cause I do have to know I have what I'm looking for and what book it might be in but that's why we have brains I guess.

I have an insane book from the 1950s for how to properly cater and set every possible meal time from summer tea to like fall bonfires but its less about recipes and more about presentation.
