@Rowan yeah, that's kinda absurd, cuz I got more than a dozen of those...

Maybe @monocles / #monoclesSearch can implement an #AIslop-#Filter on their search?
- Pretty shure #searx as underlying #SearchEngine can do that.
- After all, search engines like Ahmia filter out CSAM domains (for obvious reasons!) so it stands to reason that one could just put all "#AI" slop onto a selectable filter one can toggle…

So - I have been working on FrogFind.de recently

A moss‑covered stone staircase climbs through a deep, misty forest, each step darkened by flowing water. Towering trunks rise on both sides, their roots twisting through vivid green earth. Soft light filters through the haze, giving the scene an ancient, enchanted stillness—like a hidden path leading deeper into a world untouched by time.
Eine moosbedeckte Steintreppe steigt durch einen tiefen, nebeligen Wald, jede Stufe vom fließenden Wasser verdunkelt. Gewaltige Stämme ragen zu beiden Seiten empor, ihre Wurzeln winden sich durch leuchtend grünen Boden. Sanftes Licht dringt durch den Dunst und verleiht der Szenerie eine uralte, verzauberte Stille—wie ein verborgener Pfad in eine zeitlose Welt.

Why do I get different search results when I use different #searXNG instances? Shouldn't it be the same?

NB: I got a fair answer from #MistralAI, I guess Google had it coming.. #web #searchengine

A friend sent me a link to this explainer of different ways to "search" to get the best results. Some I knew, others I did not!

Yesterday I learned that there is a shortage of USB drives. Multiple stores with empty racks. Finally got the last one at Best Buy. A store employee said it's because of AI. @PJVOGT sounds like a good #SearchEngine question.

FYI: Google holds 73.7% of desktop searches - ChatGPT is smaller than you think: SparkToro and Datos yesterday published the broadest search market analysis yet, covering 41 websites in the US and EU/UK. Google leads at 73.7%, while AI tools reach only 3.2%. https://ppc.land/google-holds-73-7-of-desktop-searches-chatgpt-is-smaller-than-you-think/ #GoogleSearch #MarketAnalysis #SearchEngine #DigitalMarketing #AItools
