I'm going to start building myself a list of worthwhile trustworthy sources(for everything) that I know are written by experienced humans because this is... getting out of hand.

@rek yeah I've been thinking about this too, and search engines aren't as helpful as they used to be either with all the focus on selling products. Vetted online "libraries" of trusted info would be really good to start putting together

@ritualdust indeed it would. If you make a list do share it ^_^!

@rek If you don't mind, could I piggyback on your efforts? (Do you plan on making this list public anyway?) I'm unlikely to put time into constructing such a list myself (unsure where I'd start, TBH), but I do think such a thing would be quite useful.

@rek it was the case before AI thingies (content spinning/ blackhat SEO), but it became very extra worse lately!

@0gust1 i could navigate the mess well enough before, but the sheer volume of nonsensical garbage I have to wade through now makes me want to give up :/...

@rek the worse (?) is that search companies (Hoogle) are literally mid-term digging their grave by allowing this kind of websites in their search indexes.

@rek I’ve done the same in the past when I wanted to use less Google. Would be nice to have a small search engine to which you say “crawl these stuff” and it just crawls those and search only there from now on. Or maybe the crawler would be fine hosted by a community and then you download the subset of the sites you wanted… But I still can’t code for now e_e

@rek
I just made a list of all of the #AI text and image sites I could find so I can block them from my #kagi searches (I've also disabled kagi's #FastGPT service). I would be happy to share my list but I don't know how. I don't have a web site.
