Not really. It's not that uncommon for a support/forum/feedback site to use a separate account. It just means that they didn't have time, didn't want to spend the money, or couldn't link the support software to their main user account system.

That's it!

Dunno if vlad can see this, but https://kagi.com/images?q=baby+peacock ...shows that infamous AI-generated peacock image multiple times on the first row of results. Merely filtering out websites that tend to have lots of AI images does not prevent this failure case, since (for example): https://birdfact.com/articles/baby-peacocks has the fake image in there, as an example of "What does a baby peacock not look like?"…

What's that about a fake peacock? This is the first I'm hearing of it.

I see that a few AI images get through. That is OK - we still filter almost 30 AI images correctly (scroll to the bottom of search results to see them all). Also overall the results seem to be of higher quality than on other search engines.

For something that we just started working on a week ago and knowing this is just the first iteration of the feature - I think we are doing good overall. When there is will, there will be a way. And there is plenty of will on our end to stop this thing.

For those who haven't jumped ship to Kagi, there's a uBlacklist feed which strips out most big sites dedicated to AI images, with an optional extra "nuclear" feed which also knocks out sites that aren't strictly dedicated to AI images but do have a very large proportion of them. https://github.com/laylavish/uBlockOrigin-HUGE-AI-Blocklist

Still, give Kagi a chance. I don't work for them, I don't have friends who work for them, I'm just a guy who uses Kagi and will never look back. It isn't expensive and it's SO worth it.

I don't work there or know anyone who does either, but I wish I did. Kagi is great.

It is kinda expensive, but the quality is very high and I search all day long. It's definitely worth it.

I'd love to still use it, alas they've partnered with Brave - which made my stop immediately after hearing that - partnering with a crypto+advertising company - no thanks. It might still be the best option of the bunch, which is sad.

I was a paid Kagi user.

It’s one of those tools where I have to say, “it doesn’t fit me but you’re doing something good in the world so keep going.”

I don’t do the kind of searches where Kagi is a lot better than Google (I bet folks here do).

On the searches I do want to do, i.e steaming movies, local business and map related, Kagi is not yet strong at. I kept having to !g.

So I’m back to Google which I find fits me better.

But I’m glad Kagi exists.

So that's nice for people that don't want AI images. In the other hand, I actually want the opposite. I want AI images ranked higher. They're more likely to be usable (CC-.., PD, etc)

Would you want to search for them though? Or ability to generate them yourself easily?

Can't we demand (+) that AI generated images get a watermark that designates it as such? (+) By frowning really hard at people who don't follow this rule? Because, don't defecate where you eat.

It would be actually useful to mandate AI-generated images to include identifying metadata.
