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.
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.
I know there are no girls on the internet, but this AI crap is on another level. Even if find a trustworthy creator, I might be seeing a fake video of them. Say I like MKBHD reviews, I will need to pay attention if I am really watching his video on his official channel.
My guard will have to be up so much, all the time, I actually don't think it will even be healthy to "consume content" anymore. Why live a life where almost everything I see can be a lie? Makes me not want to use any of this anymore.

I'm glad that Kagi (and others) exist as an alternative for people who don't want generative AI in their searches. Personally, I'm excited about more generative AI being added to my search results, and I'll probably switch to whichever search engine ends up with the best version of it.

> We're going to need a certification for human generated content at some point. People keep saying this and I keep warning them to be careful what they wish for. The most likely outcome is that "certification of human generated content" arrives in the form of remote attestation where you can't get on the internet unless you're on a device with a cryptographically sealed boot chain that prevents any untrusted code fr…

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.
> where the incentives are aligned towards me, instead of against me. It's great to read these words. People are starting to get it. The Internet is not for you, it's against you.
Drives me nuts. The internet is dead. I just bought a home and I have been googling the best way to tackle certain home improvement projects - like how to prepare trim for painting. Virtually every result is some kind of content farm of AI-generated bullshit with advertising between every paragraph, an autoplay video (completely unrelated) that scrolls with the page, a modal popup asking me to accept cookies, a secon…
Get a general purpose home maintenance book. For example, https://archive.org/details/stanleyhomerepai0000fine/page/14... links to the chapter "Painting Trim the Right Way" from the book Stanley Home Repairs, 2014. Could also look at used book stores. Home repair hasn't changed much. Edit: Could even fire up Wine and try the CD-ROM "Black & Decker Everyday Home Repairs" (published by Broderbund) at https://archive.or…
A trip to the bookstore to buy "x for dummies" can save dozens of hours of web searching.
The current iteration of the internet and AI is lacking depth, detail, and expertise.
You can find 1 million shallow answers on reddit, or echoed in AI, but anything more than the most cursory introduction is buried.
Not only is shallow information easier to generate, it is what most users want, and therefore most engines and services cater to it.
To find better content,you need to go to specialty outlets that don't cater to the lowest common denominator.
It has to be done in a decentralised way to ensure no enterprise controls who is trusted and who isn't.

Search results that are full of content mills serving pre-genned content: no thanks. It's in the same category as those fake stackoverflow scrape sites.
