Like in the pre-search-engine internet you would have indexes, or whatever they were called, listing useful websites.

Yikes. On the one hand, curated lists sound like a breath of fresh air right now. On the other, that's AI setting us back 30 years.

My search engine even labels AI slop websites, that it pulls from open-source lists like https://github.com/alvi-se/ai-ublock-blacklist. So yeah every day I feel like the need for curated lists is getting stronger even for "useful websites". Too much noise these days.
