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?
Kagi allows you to save filters (called lenses) for later use, so if you curate your own, you can share with other people. Would be neat if there was a lemmy community for that
It also allows you to boost/deprioritize/ban domains from your searches. Not seeing pinterest show up ever again is great
