I am dreaming of a somehow human-curated privacy-respectful search engine that returns results that are free from all this intolerable AI-slop soup pollution, simply while using good old keywords.
Wouldn't that be great?
Wouldn't that be the future? 😌🌱
I would pay money to use a search engine that guarantees or even tries to avoid slop content. The best I have seen is a setting to not include LLM generated images. The only search engines I have seen that do not push their own LLM's are Marginalia, Mojeek, and SearXNG. It is like a virus that once a search engine gets to a certain size an LLM appears on their page. I wish DuckDuckGo would not have one (I know you can hide it). I considered paying for Kagi as it is really nice, however they have an LLM now, too.
