Already is. I suggest everybody else de-google as well.

Just tested on Kagi, and it’s catching a similar set of images.

I massively rate Kagi, but this is way less than ideal.

  • I just did it on Kagi and except for the obvious stock.adobe.com ones, all of the AI generated images were from snopes and media sites repeating this story, but I have quite a few sites blocked (pinterest is definitely nuked)

Would you care to share what you do instead? For search in particular, the g-suite, etc. are not such a big deal. I'm really hoping for something other than use duck duck go / bing / etc. because AFAIK they all serve advertisement funded trash and I've yet to hear a really compelling alternative, tho I've been too lazy/busy to try Kagi.

  • I know you said that you've been too lazy and busy to try it, but I am very happy with Kagi. If you don't want a search engine that serves advertisement funded Trash , then I recommend supporting the search engine whose business model is to provide searches without ads via subscription.

    My search lists are curated very well through my settings and even just using the recommended block list keeps a lot of junk out of my search results. If I find a bad site, I can block it from all future results pretty quickly. I also can use regex on the URL's in the search result to redirect things like Reddit to old.reddit automatically. It's very nice.

  • We need a slim p2p social network swarm protocol.

    If we could subscribe and suggest content along our interest graphs, we would control the algorithm and could prune slop with ease.

    It'd be incredibly awesome if news, forums, and social media worked like BitTorrent.

    DDG lets you turn ads off completely.

I tried the same search on DDG and Bing, and saw a variety of the same fake images on both. The monster is already past the gate.
