Kagi launches SlopStop to flag & downrank deceptive AI-generated content in search results
Kagi has introduced SlopStop, a community-driven system aimed at detecting and downranking deceptive AI-generated text, images, and videos within search results. Building on its previous AI image filtering which started a year ago, Kagi now extends coverage to a broader range of misleading content — spanning articles, videos, domains, and more. All Kagi Search users now have the ability to flag low-quality AI-generated content in web, image, and video searches.
With this release, users will see a real-time AI slop score displayed next to their search results, indicating the likelihood that content is AI-generated. This initiative is part of Kagi's effort to elevate high-value, trustworthy information while reducing the visibility of misinformation, low-quality news websites, false narratives, and content farms. The company describes “AI slop” as low-value or deceptive AI content designed to manipulate ranking or attention rather than serve the reader.
In addition to SlopStop, Kagi is developing new AI content detection technology using the flagged data. These enhancements will be implemented across Kagi's products to further protect against AI-generated hallucinations and false claims. In parallel, their Small Web initiative will whitelist and amplify verified human creators, addressing the challenge of AI-generated noise in the modern web.

Amazing! SlopStop should become a general term with all the AI the days.
I don't know about Kagi. It feels like sort of "Wolfram Alpha and Google had a Baby" like precise and on point search without the sponsored ads. Of course there is AI behind and of course the free plan is limited. (100 searches for a first contact without paying anyting) then comes the 5$ plan with 300 searches / month and 300 AI interactions / month. I don't know I use search engines 300 times a month ? like ... maybe ? doesn't feel like it tho. But if you want accurate results and no ads inbetween the results and also the option to adapt your search engine results (less results from that source, more results from this source, etc) - this might be interesting. I'm not sure how to feel about the AI everywhere but when I look over the alternativeto newsfeed - 80% of the news is about AI being integrated somewhere so at some point, we might just have to decide on wich one we might rely on as pretty much e v e r y t g i n g seems to obtain a native AI integration in the (very) near future.
Very nice feature, too bad it also means that if Kagi Succeed as a Search Engine in AI fields, it becomes like Google when you just pay a bunch of accounts to rank my models better than my competitors....
We need something like that on YouTube.
