Google's next main move should be to make an AI that can identify AI stuff and charge $3.99 a month for AI free search

which still has AI slop in it, either because AI is not detectable, almost nobody is going to self-watermark their AI outputs, or because a search engine that only shows content made before 2022 might not be that useful.
Do you not feel liberated? The treat printers are at least as sapient as you are and getting better all the time. You sound mainly afraid and emotional. 
Google has managed to become more and more useless year after year. Are there any search engines that still work as expected?
you can try yandex, not sure if it's expected but it's definitely different to google results
It's always what I use when my search engines fail me (sad that I know of no searx instance that can use yandex). With yandex, one might need to complete a captcha once in a while though.
duckduckgo and yandex arent perfect but work better nowadays imo
Yeah I never get AI slop on DDG
DuckDuckGo is OK, as is Yandex.
Also niche search engines like Marginalia or Wiby are good, if you want to look for stuff that's not corporate slop
Yandex is decent, 4get.ca, mojeek, baidu with an auto translate addon. All depends what exactly you're looking for.
Kagi is really good; I haven't touched Google since I started paying Kagi. Marginalia is great as well, but a bit more niche in that it explicitly avoids the sort of "corporate" internet
Pre-AI print media becomes even more precious... in the next decades the AI slop will be everywhere including actual books. Truly a boring dystopia. Makes me sad & angry & frustrated. I also should buy more Art books... but they're expensive...
With this shrunk down, I can't really tell. Like Bosch looks like a nightmare AI hell in some of his works.
Horrified Boschian nightmarish agony
I saw some bazinga bros shitting and peeing all over themselves for AI Frazetta """paintings.""" The AI slop had zero understanding of what made Frazetta recognizable. It was nothing but BOOBA barbarian women.
They thought the AI truly matched Frazetta, despite the lack of saturated blacks and da Vinci - style alien landscapes.
