FOSS won’t change this matter unless it somehow can filter out all the low quality AI-generated articles better than Google’s filters.

Comes down to editorial quality maybe; what sites do you trust?

Jimmy Wales has a social media project with "whom to trust" built into the algorithm. I'm not sure if it is an idea with legs, but I like where his head is at

Don't allow sites in the index by default, use an allowlist.

Is this allowlist supposed to work on article by article basis? Because that’s what has to be done for publishing platforms like medium.

By default I was thinking site. But for sites with huge variances in page quality you'd need it by page/article as you say.
