Honestly, this sort of thing was a problem loooooong before any of the AIs showed up. Most articles of the sort you're talking about were written a long while before any of that, and Google has been a mess for just as long (after all, the people who run it dont care).
I've been mostly avoiding using Google (or DuckDuckGo) to search for "help with anything" stuff for years now. Many years.
But see, there's an actual reason why it's this way now: Youtube.
Usually, people dont really want to read about something like that, and the more complicated it gets, the less likely a simple article will be helpful to most people. Not to mention that many just dont like reading things overall.
But on Youtube, you can simply SEE someone perform the very task you need help learning, while explaining what they are doing at the same time. Even better if you find yourself actually liking whoever is making said video. This direct visual & personal approach goes a very, very long way to making any given task drastically easier to understand.
This also means that, for those that want to MAKE this type of content, writing an article about it wont even occur to them. Youtube is usually the first thing that comes to mind. There are exceptions, but that's rare.
Seriously, articles about stuff like this have been a dead end for a LONG time. Many years. And a lot of sites have always been... sketchy, at best. Particularly when it comes to anything that could have potentially dangerous aspects, or things that are easily damaged, it's DEFINITELY better to see a proper demonstration of what's being done. All of that is why I always tell people to just go to Youtube.
And yes, I know there's a sort of desire like "but I just want to do it quicker", but the thing is, if you go into it with not quite enough knowledge (or incorrect knowledge) to do it and make an unexpected mistake, well... you could be spending like 10x more time... and some money... to fix further breakage. Besides, a skilled teacher/demonstrator on Youtube can give explanations very efficiently. It's worth finding such channels.
Oh, and be careful about Reddit. It can be very useful, but it can also be extremely erratic and Google often likes to take you to REALLY old posts. Those two things together can mean big problems.
If you must use a non-video resource, a forum is better... if you can find one. Just be aware that this can take MUCH longer than just using a video, depending on the forum. It could take literal days to get a response from a smaller one. If you get a response at all. But, there could be other benefits to finding such a forum, so it's worth looking for. Maybe you can find a big one with enough searching, who knows? Sewing overall isnt exactly an uncommon topic.
Good luck!
