How does this work? Kagi pays for hordes of reviewers? Do the reviewers use state of the art tools to assist in confirming slop, or is this another case of outsourcing moderation to sweat shops in poor countries? How does this scale?





Hey, Kagi ML lead here.

> Kagi pays for hordes of reviewers? Is this another case of outsourcing moderation to sweat shops in poor countries?

No, we're simply not paying for review of content at the moment, nor is it planned.

We'll scale human review as needed with long time kagi users in our discord we already trust

> Do the reviewers use state of the art tools to assist in confirming slop

Mostly this, yes.

For images/videos/sound, diffusion and GANs leave visible artifacts. There's a bit of issues with edge cases like high resolution images that have been JPEG compressed to hell, but even with those the framing of AI images tends to be pretty consistent.

> How does this scale?

By doing rollups to the source. Going after domains / youtube channels / etc.

Mixed with automation. We're aiming to have a bias towards false negatives -- eg. it's less harmful to let slop through than to mistakenly label real content.


Thank you for jumping in with such a detailed response - and for the work you do! You're making the internet a little better.

May I ask how you plan to deal with YouTube auto-dubbing videos into crappy AI slop?

I wanted to watch a video and was taken aback by the abysmal ai generated voice. Only afterwards I realized YouTube had autogenerated the translated audio track. Destroyed the experience. And kills YouTube for me.


The original audio is always available when viewing an auto-dubbed video.

If Kagi wants to avoid serving auto-dubbed content for language-specific intent, Kagi should handle that on the indexing side, no AI-detection required.

I'm sorry that's a YouTube problem, not a problem with the original content.

Sadly we don't have plans to address that at the moment -- otherwise all of youtube would be labeled slop
