Once you know what patterns to look for, it's not too difficult to recognize LLM-generated text... but yeah, it's still a time-waster, sifting through top-ranking search results and finding that almost all of them are slop.

Eventually there will be software to sort through the mess when people get tired of it, but it will take time

There's already blocklists (e.g. github.com/laylavish/uB...), but given the sheer scale at which this slop can be peddled, it's like trying to kill a hydra.

Just to confirm things for you, I checked my reference books and they list Phantasy Star Fukkokuban as being released on April 2, 1994 (Mega Drive Complete Guide Deluxe). I'm sure you found another source by this point, but reference books are a good way to avoid AI data corruption.

Andlabs on my discord also linked Sega's own documentation: www.sega.jp/fb/segahard/... which also has the April 2 date; probably a safe source though who knows with Sega

Superb article. Also "Game data not found"... good eye, I missed that the first time lol. If it's any consolation, _I_ learned about Phantasy Star Facsimile edition, not by BSky, or any info silo like Discord. But I learned of it by checking my RSS feed, which I've finally been doing regularly.
