When I search for anything on Google or DuckDuckGo, more than half of the results are useless AI generated articles.

Those articles are generated to get in the first results of requests, since the search engine use algorithms to index websites and pages.

If we manually curate “good” websites (newspapers, forums, encyclopedias, anything that can be considered a good source) and only index their contents, would it be possible to create a good ol’fashioned search engine? Does it already exist?

    Yahoo could go back to the directory approach and advertise as having less SEO garbage and AI slop.
