glb file format

Screenshot of Google's AI Summary from a Google search of 'glb file format'
I wanted to look at the quality of Google’s first page of search results, using search operators to exclude AI written articles and remove Google’s AI Summary.
Basically, using search operators, specifically before:
and -ai
. ChatGPT launched in 2022, so by using before:
we can filter out results published before then, this will exclude newer articles which might be AI written. To remove the AI Overview that now appears at the top of search results we will use -ai
.
The idea came from this video:
Going through and using the search operators we can see that the link for https://www.khronos.org/Gltf, which are the people behind glTF, isn’t on the first page of Google results. It only appears after I use the -ai
search operator to remove the AI Summary.
If we highlight any links from khronos.org we get links to https://www.khronos.org/files/gltf20-reference-guide.pdf for our before:2018 -ai
search, and links to https://registry.khronos.org/glTF/specs/2.0/glTF-2.0.html for our before:2022 -ai
and before:2023 -ai
searches.
The featured snippet also doesn’t use the direct source https://www.khronos.org/Gltf, unless we search before:2018 -ai
and earlier years.
ChatGPT written articles have pushed out the actual useful results, and now Google is using those poorly written AI articles as sources for it’s AI Overview.
Anyways, heres some information about the “glb file format”.
