They also literally just released SlopStop as a community-based filtering mechanism that’ll downrank AI slop, with the CEO saying “We believe AI slop is an existential threat to an internet that should belong to humans. This is the first step towards our ultimate goal: to kill AI slop so you never see it again.”
Apparently they’ll be using this to train something that can identify AI slop better based on the database of user-reported sites, and they’ll be making the database open.
Their AI integration philosophy feels incredibly reasonable to me with how out of the way it is, how it properly cites its sources and shows how much of the answer each one influenced, and how the search results are often so good it doesn’t even feel like you need the AI model, and this just sweetens the deal.
I can understand having issues with Kagi, they’re a company, after all, but their stance and actions feel very good thus far.
Thanks for that link, I read through that and absolutely love it! I already downranked sites I found to be AI-written on a personal basis, but this could be much more powerful.
From what I understand, there’ll be human review of every AI report, so the potential to abuse the system is also relatively low (if the Kagi team does their due diligence)
