Like most people, I use the internet to look for inspiration for my hobbies, like cooking, baking, crochet, lettering etc. AI scammers and AI slop are killing my enthusiasm though. I'm using too much time and energy to sift though all the crap in order to find some gems.

What I need is some place to collect and curate trustworthy websites and do a websearch in those sites instead of the whole web whenever I need a recipe or are looking for my next fiber project. Does anybody have ideas or tips how to pull that of?

Sorry, no specific tips. Maybe there's a browser plug-in that makes it easy to whitelist websites in a search? I would pay for a search engine where actual human people regularly vet the websites included in it for factual information and unlabeled AI use.

Would Kagi do something like that, ie flag/filter AI slop?

I hadn't looked into Kagi, as I only learned about it after I had started using Ecosia.

I just glanced through the info page, they let you customize your search results, and it seems like they do some curation of the results too. But they are also getting in on the AI search band wagon.
