There's a browser extension called uBlacklist. There are a couple community made lists that you can subscribe to that are based around blocking AI content.
Fuck AI
"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
oh im about to add that to ublock ty
Oh that's neat. They need to reduce the permissions requested though. Accessing all webtraffic is a fucking no.
Hahaahahahahahhaahahahahhaahhahahahahahahahahhaha
We're so fucked
Out of curiosity, What search engine are you using?
Unfortunately, I think the most reliable way is to go for a paid search engine from a private company like Kagi, which allows you to blacklist sites and prioritizes quality over ad-friendliness.
As soon as a company goes public, they won‘t focus on trying to sell their product to their customers, but to their investors. And investors currently just love AI. So it goes everywhere, no matter if it’s useful or not. Private companies, on the other hand, have to make a product their customers actually want, otherwise their only source of income will dry up pretty quickly.
So, although there are some other band-aid-solutions out there, I think a more reliable way of getting rid of the slop, and also sending a message, is not to use products from slop-loving companies at all, if possible.
I include a swear word in my queries. that makes them stop
This stops the LLM bullshit directly on the results page but it doesn't stop slop websites from being returned as genuine results :/
havent seen a search engine that flags ai generated results. This would be hard to implement there's no technology (AI or otherwise) that can accurately guess if something was generated by large language models. They can do it manually since a person can sometimes tell just by looking (images, their cadence etc...) but this involves labor and costs money. The other option would require web pages to say something like "this was/wasn't artificially generated" and they report that. At the moment its financially beneficial to not say if you use AI. When the bubble bursts people will sour on the idea (more so than they do now) and they'll have an incentive to disclose when they do/don't use it. It would become the new green washing. In the next couple of years "AI" will need a rebrand.
The overlords at g**gle have developed a model (?) that does just that
seems like a dev toolkit that other people can use with their own things for watermarking i doubt they would actually add it to google search. The majority of people who use google would immediately use it to circumvent them trying to push ai into everything which would not benefit them financially.
The only LLM I actually want is one that can identify other LLMs.
Do you have a time machine?
Find a friend who reads books and ask them. It's about your best bet these days. Look to the past for answers because the present holds few and the future holds none. Generative AI was a turning point for humanity and no new information can be trusted to be reliable anymore. We have entered a digital dark age, most of the libraries are already burning. Wikipedia and Internet Archive are still standing, but the AI barbarians are at the gates. AI's even writing books and scientific studies now, stretching its tendrils of misinformation deep into information heart of the real world, and it has the willing assistance of a significant proportion of the human race in peddling its slop and hiding it within otherwise genuine human creations to bypass the limited filters we have, making perfect detection extremely difficult if not possible. So there's really no telling where you might run into it, although an abundance of nihilistic cynicism combined with a well-tuned, high sensitivity bullshit detector are essential survival tools that give you a distinct advantage against the effects of AI and are certainly better than nothing. Just don't expect complete immunity from AI misinformation. The situation is truly dire.
Wiby.me is my favorite search engine. It's just a hobbyist website search engine so it doesn't have everything.
