  • On the one hand, that's nice for improved Kagi results. On the other hand, I dislike how community efforts will end up being owned by a single company.

    • They addressed it under:

      Access to the database will be shared soon, you can express interest here if you’d like to receive updates.

      I'm not sure what the criteria will be for receiving access to the database.

      • Interesting, thank you. From the text here,

        "As we collectively identify and validate slop across the web, Kagi's SlopStop initiative will help transform those insights into a comprehensive, structured dataset of AI slop – an invaluable resource for training AI models.

        Access to the database will be shared soon. Use this form to express your interest if you’d like to receive updates.

        especially the part "an invaluable resource for training AI models", and the absence of any community-focused language, and the fact that Kagi iirc is still operating at losses and are looking for ways to become profitable, I fear it will be essentially commercial. But who knows, and even if it will be so, that still is not to say it's all bad.

  • All Kagi Search users can now flag low-quality AI content (“AI slop”) in web, image, and video search results.

    Ah, perfect. I already downrank slopsites.

    • Nice! I do the same, and it's nice to see that they'll crowd source the communities combined efforts
