SlopStop is Kagi’s community-driven feature for reporting low-quality, mass‑generated AI content (“AI slop”) found in web, image and video search results.
Kagi Search already fights most SEO spam by downranking sites filled with ads and trackers. SlopStop adds a collaborative element: users can flag suspected AI slop, helping us identify domains and channels whose main purpose is to generate traffic with AI‑generated content.
You can report on a single page, image, or video, with each report individually reviewed. Multiple reports for the same domain or channel help speed up the review process.
Reviews are typically completed within a week and actions (flags and downranking) are applied once this is complete.

+1 for kagi, I greatly enjoy their search - but it should be noted that they do heavily incorporate AI into their services.
Arguably more ethically than most, but still.
True. But it’s optional. I deactivated every AI feature and my browser experience is completely Ai-free.
I think, to remain competitive and attract a broad customer base today, searchengines are compelled to offer AI features. I’d rather use a provider that offers AI features as an option than one that aggressively pushes them on you.
The only AI feature of theirs that I’ve used is their Translate tool and I’ve been pretty satisfied with the results in comparison to others.
