#2Nice! Although the filter is unlikely to be perfect, it will be great to have another way to filter AI slop.

#3I don't know how they're going to keep this up long term but I appreciate / like the effort / feature. Even google is getting infected where I search for just an animal name and a bunch of the results are meme like AI images of something that looks "like" that animal.

Likewise, not sure how this will be sustainable. "Even google"... I'd instead say "Especially google". It's already a mess out there, and I hope Google and others take an active role in at least trying to make things usable.

#5Finally! Now let's do the rest of the internet.

#6I 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.

#7I 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

#8Helpful, but even more so would be a way to filter out AI content farms. It's getting to the point where I won't go to a site if I don't recognize its domain from the pre-GPT-3 era. Maybe domain age should be the filter. Not perfect, but no solution will be.

I’m annoyed for you.
The use case of someone preferring AI generated material vs the real material seems only to strike the algorithm and retention time of users so they always feel a sense of having what they need - despite it not existing.

Google has personalized search enabled by default for users, which makes it feel more "relevant", of course you get this by sacrifacing any means of privacy. For me, I don't mint unpersonalized results, however, my reason for stopping using ddg is a bit unorthodox one; the overall search performance (as in the time you need to wait until the results load) was significantly higher than Google's. I still believe that Kagi is a game changer.
