Re: Kagi Update: AI Image Filter for Search Results
#2For 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.

#3This feature may single-handedly make me pay for Kagi rather than using the free trial searches. Looking for drawing references is infuriating these days with the amount of AI.

#4Interesting, another battlefront for AI vs. AI.
Probably will be well-liked overall by Kagi customers, I'm sure. I'd be a bit concerned about false positives, but I suppose the stakes are pretty low compared to other similar situations (e.g. using AI to detect AI-generated essays in University), so there's not much of a concern.
Is there any mechanism to provide feedback for false positives?

#5This is a solid idea, but I wish they addressed the elephant in the room — image search is by far the weakest part of Kagi. For a considerable portion of queries, a large part of the results isn't relevant. If you use filters, they're often ignored or don't apply correctly. Many images are tangentially related at best. The list goes on. I've been paying for Kagi for a long while, yet I've seen nearly no improvements on this front. Image search is one part of their product where I often go to Google or other options because what Kagi does there just doesn't cut it.

#6Been using Kagi for a good year or more now and am very happy, but this feels like a real level-up.
This is exactly the kind of thing I want to be paying for. It doesn't even matter if it's not 100% accurate (I don't think it ever could be without some serious processing), the commitment to down-ranking sites that have low quality content is the whole ball game for me.

I agree. I’ve often wondered, what could be the possible reason given Kagi is using google APIs behind the scenes?

I think this could possibly be nice reward program, provided guardrails are in place to prevent abuse.
Re: Kagi Update: AI Image Filter for Search Results
#9this is a dumb feature, you should judge an image by your perception of it, not how it was created (ie machine or human made).
the anti ai-generated image crowd is a loud minority, they won't matter in the long term and spending dev time on this is questionable decision making at best.
now if you're a forensics company or that is the angle, then yeah it could be an interesting tool to have, might be even more profitable than this custom search as a service thing (obsoleted already by llm tech).

#10Just don't search for "baby peacock". The AI filter is no match for the famous baby peacock, I say that because the AI pictures are actually now shown because they are part of articles discussing AI generated photos.
