AI SlopStop by Kagi (help.kagi.com)

Kagi has launched SlopStop, a community-driven feature that allows users to report low-quality, AI-generated content—referred to as “AI slop”—in web, image, and video search results. This initiative builds upon Kagi's existing efforts to combat SEO spam by incorporating user contributions to identify domains that primarily generate content through AI, marking them for downranking if more than 80% of their output is deemed AI-generated. Users can report suspected content, and Kagi will evaluate these reports to determine appropriate actions, such as downranking or removal of flagged content from search results. This feature is particularly significant for the AI and machine learning community as it addresses growing concerns about the authenticity and reliability of online content. While supporting AI tools that enhance creativity, Kagi aims to mitigate the spread of misleading or low-quality information generated by AI systems, reinforcing the importance of maintaining a trustworthy content ecosystem. The collaborative nature of SlopStop not only empowers users to contribute to content quality but also emphasizes the platform's commitment to distinguishing between responsible AI use and harmful practices in content generation.
