I need to manually write a lot of category descriptions (+300) and I am looking for good content sources similar to the waybackarchive.
Anybody any advice?

I guess there days, it is to dangerous to mass generate similar AI generated content for category/landing pages?

All tips and advice is always welcome and appreciated!

I'd try Archive.today for old snapshots, and Common Crawl is another source that takes more effort to browse. With 300+ category descriptions, I'd use the archived pages for research and give each page its own angle from customer questions and real search queries.

old category pages will serve as sources for conducting the research rather than providing text for rewriting. The description will be written according to the distinctive features of each category.
 
There are several other content sources similar to the Wayback Machine that you may want to explore. These include services that capture content snapshots on demand, tools for aggregating and searching historical data, as well as professional solutions designed for automated collection and monitoring (tailored for business and SEO purposes).
 
Honestly, I haven't understood how exactly this method may help you with content. Did you do this before and it worked well for you?
 
I’d use competitor pages and archived versions for research, but avoid rewriting them too closely. For 300+ categories, build a content framework with unique product details, category-specific benefits, and useful buying information. Templates are fine if the actual value is different.

i would use the existing category pages as templates but would not directly replicate their descriptions. i would also examine my competitors' pages and customers' queries because there is a high risk of creating doorway pages using 300 pages with similar AI generated text.
 
Archived pages are useful for research, but the content is still protected by copyright in many cases. An old site disappearing doesn't make its descriptions free to copy. Product details can also become outdated, so it's worth checking current specs before writing those 300 category pages.
 
I would use competitor research, product information, customer questions, and keyword data as starting points. Avoid copying archived descriptions directly. AI can help with drafts, but each category page should have unique information that matches its search intent.
 
I’d focus on finding sources for real category information, rather than using Wayback Machine to rewrite old descriptions. For 300+ categories, manually researching every description from scratch will take a lot of time.

This is the best direct alternative to the Wayback Machine. It often has snapshots of competitor category pages from 3–5 years ago, before they were ruined by AI or thin SEO content. You can extract the core, human-written value propositions from those old versions and rewrite them.
 
Try using archived websites, competitor pages and industry blogs for inspiration and useful informations. AI can save time, but make sure that every description is unique, relevant and genuinely helpful rather than repetitive.
 
the bigger issue here is not about whether the information is created by AI or people but whether it holds any value for the users in case there are more than 300 categories my first task would be to find out what kind of goods and services are sold within each of those categories and what people actually need when looking for information on those pages competitor websites can assist in this task but their descriptions cannot be copied
