Ability to filter out obvious ai image websites from Image search

z64

Hey all, we have rolled out some experimental downranking of AI images. Please give it a try and let us know how it fares for you now. (All subject to balancing/change)

We are also playing with the idea of including a small badge on thumbnails that indicates the content may be AI generated, including a filter option, but haven't pushed that out yet.

z64 That sounds great! Even if no filter works 100%, I find the mere possibility of having such images automatically removed or marked to be very useful!

I get really tired of looking for images and being completely overwhelmed with AI images. So many sites are pandering to AI generated content and I generally just do not want to see it. I understand that there are ways to rank individual websites within your own search results however that's very manual.

I would like to see an option to omit AI generated content from image searches. Or at least mark it as AI.

I do not support AI generated anything, as a life long artist. And while I don't want to get into any debate about whether it's acceptance or not, trying to find actual images about "spaceship concept art" are extremely unreliable to finding handmade art.

I'd imagine having information about what threshold of content from a domain is AI generated would be helpful here; for example madewithai.com (IDK if that's a real site just an example) would probably host a lot of AI content. Based on page and site data, the site could be given a numerical value of how much is AI generated, in this case maybe 90%.

Meanwhile a site like DeviantArt would probably be about 40% AI search results returned. Based on this info, images from these sites can be labeled as "AI-friendly" source or "AI Generated' if the image is unquestionably AI, such as having a description like "AI Gen image of two cats".

Users can set a threshold to what level of AI content they want to allow. Basically the same thing as safe search... Just for AI rather than mature content.

This should be the case already -- please give it a try at kagi.com/images and share your feedback with us. Thank you!

Thibaultmol Thanks for sharing! It's already working very well.

Luis I am losing my mind because I never saw that. Maybe because it was just right at the end. Sorry for the silly post.

Question, would it be possible for users to "report" a result as AI? Just tried it, and while it works well, I'd love to be able to say "this is still AI" and it be omitted for other users searching with no AI on.

Please provide a means to quickly and easily hide AI images from search results.

A button or toggle near the search bar to hide AI images in results.

This is likely not possible. How should Kagi identify these images?

RHvdG

It's something to strive for, at least. It's also the kind of feature that would attract new users.
Additionally, at some point in the future, AI generated content (at least in the EU, but this would have global consequences) may carry a requirement to be watermarked or labeled as such in the metadata (an excellent idea that, however, is still being debated).

RHvdG even if the law you are referencing will get into force, it would still take few years until it's actually enforced. And even then, I think many websites won't give a damn about law in EU, and won't add this metadata (or, will add it only for IP address in EU).

Luis

Hello everyone, we've recently made some progress on this. Please test out a few image searches and share your feedback. To keep our discussions streamlined, I'm merging this thread with the main one on this topic.

Thibaultmol

Luis WOW OK it's a lot better now. So did you just manually exclude domains from searches or what exactly did you do?

Luis

We updated our image ranking algorithm. Details of this update will be included in our upcoming release notes, and we will also provide a dedicated help page that outlines our approach to image ranking

I tested with "baby cats" but can only see Include and Exclude options, but no option of labeling the images yet. Are there any settings I should change?

Luis

gdriveforn1 By default, images are labeled and those identified as GenAI are downranked, appearing at the bottom of the image results when scrolling

gdriveforn1

Luis Ah thanks. I can see them now.

Luis Any way I can turn that off? What if I want to actively search AI images? putting AI at the end of a query seems to not do the trick, as it's just downranked no matter what.
