Looking at the examples together in context, slop is Google's fault. Misleading titles and keyword stuffing, that was done to try and survive in the arms race created by search engine algorithms. AI slop is just icing on the cake.
Between which search engines exactly?There's google, bing, and search engines that rely on google and/or bing. At least in the western market.
There's also kagi, but they're not ad supported
Kagi does a pretty good job filtering out the slop. Idk how they do it, but they've built a search engine that is actually useful again.
I've been using them for a while now. It's ui can use some fixing here and there, but it's been a long time since a search engine has simply been... not frustrating to use.
Right? I decided to try them because I was constantly frustrated throughout my day by how useless and shitty search engines have become, despite really not wanting to pay for a search engine. After a couple of days I decided it's money well spent. Not only do I cut Big Brother Google out of the equation, the frustration is gone.
