Pre-AI Slop Searching
Posted by Al Sweigart in misc
Google, Mojeek, and Yandex let you add directives to search for pre-2024 results, which filters out AI slop. (Though it also filters out recent news events.) For Google and Mojeek, this filters out any pages updated in 2024 or later. For Yandex, it filters out pages that have a listed publication date of 2024 or later. (Though a web page can always list whatever publication date it wants.) I've created a separate web page that autofills the pre-2024 directives for these search engines so you can download it or set it as your New Tab default page. Or you can use the form in this post.
