The latest trick to stop those annoying AI answers is also the most cathartic.

    Get off Google. There are alternatives, Qwant, Startpage, whatever floats your boat. I swapped to Kagi and honestly haven’t looked back.

      Careful. I suggested kagi in another thread and was accused of being a shill.

      Don’t understand how people can pay $7 for a coffee but won’t consider paying $5 or $10 a month for clean search results.

        People can call me a shill if they want. I was curious when I first tried Kagi, but sceptical, but now I’m really happy. It’s fun to see new features make it on there, and more than anything I love that I can make the search engine work for me instead of having to faff about trying to phrase stuff in a way where I can coax what I want out of it.

        If I hate a particular website, I’ll just block it and never see it again. It’s so simple. The new “AI generated” tags on images is nice, and I hope we can see something similar for websites at some point too. Maybe flag sites that are known to use LLMs for garbage accumulation. There might already even be a blocklist for that.
