The Use Of Artificial Intelligence (AI) On The Nameless Project Well, at time of writing it is now September 2026, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) is everywhere... whether you like it or not. Being the most current, not to mention biggest, website of mine to date, I have found myself increasingly utilizing AI for probably the first time in an online project. No special programs, but by simply using Google search's AI overview in a web browser, I have so far found it useful for three main tasks: 1. For scraping editable text from websites that either don't allow direct text highlighting and copying, or for text formatted in such a way that you end up having to highlight other stuff that's not required like images and captions. One example being extracting details and tracklists of band's releases only available on some streaming sites that act more like online apps, such as Spotify. 2. For quickly finding or confirming very specific info, or summarizing info, from multiple websites. One example being finding where a band is based out of without manually having to trawl multiple websites and walls of text. 3. For quickly finding or confirming very specific info, or summarizing info, from this very website. One example being finding unified search results from multiple pages without having to actually visit the site, manually trawl those multiple pages, and then compile the info in one place (right now this has shown limited results that should only get better with time). You can effectively manipulate Google search's AI and force it to be a custom search engine for any given site, by specifically telling it to use that site (in this case, thenamelessproject.net) as the source. What's cool is that this website is also now being used as a source that gets scraped for info every now and then, especially when searching for the more obscure bands/projects not mentioned anywhere else. And again, this will only increase in effectiveness over time. In the past with a site of such scale, I would have thought about embedding a Google search box on the site itself. However, also from past experience, this has proven to be a pain in the ass to implement, setup, and maintain. Not to mention also produces limited search results itself. For my own purposes, this newer AI-scraping search method has been 'good enough' for what I've needed it to do, and requires no alteration to the site's code or disconnected Google services being setup and maintained. Disclaimer: Of course, when finding new information for this site, any info presented by AI search is verified by me by actually going to the source(s) of the info presented and manually finding the info and context surrounding it. * THE END * |
