Almost all of the "product X vs Y" results are AI ramblings now. This growth of the dead Internet is making me want to sign up for Kagi. We're going to need a certification for human generated content at some point.

human-verified content is going to be the next billion dollar company.

Perhaps you're thinking of the Wikimedia Foundation.

There is plenty of space there for more volunteer editors to verify content, and likewise, WMF operates its own cloud platform where developers are automating tools that do maintenance and transformation on the human-contributed content.

Then, there is Wikidata, a machine-readable Wiki. Many other projects draw data from here, so that it can be localized and presented appropriately. Yet, its UI and SPARQL language are accessible to ordinary users, so have fun verifying the content there, too!

One of the replies mentions this uBlock Origin AI blocklist (haven't tried it myself): https://github.com/laylavish/uBlockOrigin-HUGE-AI-Blocklist

I think we should have an allow list approach at this point. Maybe a web directory of trustful websites.

We're about to go back to the directory style websites of the 90s!

IME for home improvement Youtube is the best resource, though I can understand if you were hoping for text and pictures.

Also your local library probably has a bunch of home improvement books. They're probably from the 80s, but trim painting techniques don't change that much.

What you can do in the library is sample a wide variety of the books in the topic you want, and soon you'll identify an author, or publisher, as your favorite, and then you can go purchase more in their series, and consider donating them back to the library when you're done with the project!

Kagi's results for "baby peacock" are showing almost the same set (Mostly AI) as Google's.

It's surprising how many times you see this pattern on HN

"Google sucks!"(50 upvotes)

"That's why I use Kagi!"(45 upvotes)

"Actually Kagi has the exact same problem and you have to pay for it."(2 upvotes)

digital signatures?

But I can generate something with AI and then sign it myself and say "I wrote it, pinky promise". Since most people don't write anything on the internet, I can pay people $5 to use their signature and operate a "sign farm". Look at the effort these people go though to send their spam.

Sure, but we’re working with a real person's reputation. If they are willing to gamble with AI, that’s their problem.

I’m hoping for a “this human being validated this message”. I think that alone could solve multiple problems.

I'm a little sad for anyone who didn't get to experience the Internet of the twentieth century. It was a unique point in time. I'm ready to pay for a walled garden where the incentives are aligned towards me, instead of against me. I know that puts me in a minority, but I'm tired of the advertising 'net.

I've said it before and say it again, I firmly think AOL was just ahead of its time. Bring it back. Charge me 10 or 20 a month. Give me the walled off chatrooms, forums, IM, articles, keywords, search, etc. Revamp it, make it modern. And make a mobile app. Everyone wanted a free and open Internet, until AI and the bots ruined it all.

i think the problem with revamping Q-Link/AOL into the be-all end-all for everyone (thats human) youre gonna hafta pump the prime with AI chatbots to give the appearance of lots of people to draw you in, kinda like how reddit admins pumped the prime by making tons of posts early on. just a little light treason.

Searching with "Reddit" at the end of every query helps but I suppose it's only a matter of time when most content on Reddit is also AI-generated.

Reddit is already lost. I was talking to the mods in a large political subreddit and they said after Reddit started charging for API access, all the tools they used to keep on top of the trolls and bots stopped working, and the quality of the whole subreddit declined visibly and dramatically.

The whole point of the API access change was to charge AI model-makers. I'd be ironic if the API change made destroyed their product and made their data unsellable.

You have only had google image search for what, 20-years? Why do you think it is a fundamental part of humanity's growth story? You talk about being a part of something "real and visceral" but you're complaining about the demise of being able to sit at your desk and see pictures of wildlife. Maybe it's okay that google image search dies and makes people go out and find the wildlife they want to see. The internet, eve…

> Maybe it's okay that google image search dies and makes people go out and find the wildlife they want to see. I don't think that is what will happen if google images dies.

haha, no definitely not! The internet is mostly not "real and visceral" so losing parts of it to AI-generated nonsense IS a loss, just not a loss of the actual underlying thing (in this case: baby peacocks).

Yes, everyone warned Spez about that at the time. He didn’t care, he wanted that IPO.

Recently, they came around looking to recruit me. I told them fire Spez or fuck off. (17 year Reddit user here)

A new sales point for Web3.

How so?

They would add whatever feature to Web3 in order to sell the idea, at this point it's the Alchemy of IT.
