Is there a search engine that blocks websites known to create low effort/AI generated articles? (lemm.ee)

It's getting a bit ridiculous out here. I'm using DuckDuckGo but since it aggregates its search from other sources, it's also gotten bad recently. Is there a search out there that blocks domains that spam AI? Extra points if there's something like Ublock Origin that filters things based on a community-made list.

Edit: I'm aware of Kagi but it's pretty expensive and I'm not a fan that they, too, host their own AI tools.

I'm using Startpage too, but I have a feeling that the search result quality had a massive drop lately.

They use Google and Bing for their results last I checked. So, if those two get worse then Startpage will too.

I don't know. Maybe Google is actively limiting results for Startpage. When I don't find what I'm looking for in Startpage I switch to Google and boom, adequate search result. I refuse to permanently go back to Google though.

Could be that. Could also be the fact that Google adjusts results based on their profile of you, giving different results from Startpage.
