The amount of medical advice on those LLM content farms is very concerning, someone is going to get hurt eventually. I recently made a user script that tries to highlight LLM generated text and sometimes when I search things more than half the results are garbage and the entire articles (including the bios of the supposed professionals who write the articles!) get highlighted purple. One way to avoid them in a pinch…

Random number generator and vibes probably.

#43I have used ddg for many years. But I think the search results were too irrelevant to me most of the time now I have moved on
ddg pretty consistently fails to return expected a results, compared to google.
It’s a shame, I don’t want to stay with google, but it still does best fit my needs for search.

Basically every art related social media hit that state unfortunately. Aside from making search useless, it just demotivates everyone. No reason to use a social media site that appears full of bots.
Searching for recipes is definitely an exercise in ai suck.
Recipes are a sore spot for me. holy smokes is it a seo spam wasteland, I mean as far as our modern search engines go the whole web(statistically) is seo spam wasteland. but recipe sites are a specific particularly bad biome in that wasteland. they all follow the same infernal formula, about 5 paragraphs on how the recipe makes you feel, then the over specific formulation.
I know there are good recipe sites out there, you just will never find them, unless our search engine overlords slip and let one through.
The good web still exists, it is just that the search engines(our gateway to the web) are unable to find it under all the trash. My only solution so far has to been to start manually curating a list of good sites. A big part of the problem as I understand it is the search engines heavily prioritize new content over good content. To the point if I see a date in the current year next to the search result, I instantly reject it as seo garbage. If I were a better person I would sign up for Kagi, as I firmly believe a large part of the solution is to fix the business/customer dynamics, that is, you want to be the customer, not the product. But I am reluctant to sign up for another service so I am stuck shoveling slop to get through the web.

#45Dear DDG, I genuinely, truly appreciate an AI filter on images. But for the love of Bob, would you please enable absolute operands ("" or +) in image searching? It's been on your todo list for over a decade.
This bugs me no end. Image search is so challenging to use because the results are a vague interpretation of what you ask for, and don't try to be more descriptive because that's just more words to throw in the mix of results

#46Do they still hide tankman images in search results too?

It uses one of Mozilla's models: https://huggingface.co/fakespot-ai/roberta-base-ai-text-dete...
It has a pretty high false positive rate though, but it reliably highlights AI generated spam websites and saves me from having to read them.

This is easy to check, and no they do not. I can see many photos on Bing of tank man.

#49A risk is that it will give people a false sense of confidence that they are viewing real content. The only way out of this mess is cryptographic methodss (based on hardware in cameras) that can allow end-users to verify photos as real and then we assume every other photo may be AI.

#50I recently opened Pinterest after a year or so, and did look for some nice architecture / houses, and all results had the tag 'AI enhanced'. No I don't want AI houses, I want to see real architecture! Even though the tags are there, you can't filter on 'No AI'. So I stopped using it again.
I never understood Pinterest and how it works, but I know that people who DO understand and use Pinterest are basically saying that it’s been completely ruined by AI images.
Wait, are you telling me that before LLMs, this was the good version of Pinterest?
This is the most common blocked site on ublacklist lists and kagi and probably it is also on many of the common dns blocklist.
