Introducing SlopStop: Community-driven AI slop detection in Kagi Search | Kagi Blog
blog.kagi.com
------------------------------------------------------------------- Your collective defense against AI-generated spam and content farms ------------------------------------------------------------------- We made it our mission to prevent the web from becoming useless and a harmful space.

All Kagi Search users can now flag low-quality AI content (“AI slop”) in web, image, and video search results. We will verify these reports using our own signals. If a domain primarily publishes AI-generated content, we will downrank it in Kagi Search and mark it as AI slop. If a page is AI-generated but the domain is mixed (not mostly AI), we will flag the page as AI-generated but will not downrank it.

For media results, images and videos confirmed as AI-generated, they will be labelled as such and automatically downranked on the results page. Users can also choose to filter out AI-generated media entirely.

    Is Kagi worth it?

    I’ve heard differing accounts. Some people definitely swear by it. But if you’re just using search as a portal to Wikipedia or Generic News Of the Day, it still points you to the same catalog of high profile sites as everyone else.

    $5-10/mo isn’t a wallet buster. But is it really any better than searching Google with udm=14 turned on? YMMV.

    Nobody has satisfactorily explained to me how much Kagi is cribbing from the other search engines and how much is their own internal web crawling and sorting heuristics.
