For those who haven't jumped ship to Kagi, there's a uBlacklist feed which strips out most big sites dedicated to AI images, with an optional extra "nuclear" feed which also knocks out sites that aren't strictly dedicated to AI images but do have a very large proportion of them.

Still, give Kagi a chance. I don't work for them, I don't have friends who work for them, I'm just a guy who uses Kagi and will never look back. It isn't expensive and it's SO worth it.

Switched about ten months ago and it’s been so good I forget it’s even not Google sometimes.

If you forget it's not Google, I don't want to sign up. I want something that reminds me all the time that it's not Google, mainly by its ability to actually find the things I search for.

I'm not sure what they mean. I have mine tuned to the point that I can immediately tell when I accidentally google something because the results are so shockingly bad.

Kagi is REALLY good at giving you the ability to filter out the type of results you never want to see.

My main problem is that I don't so much have results I never want to see, as I want to be able to get results from blogs and small sites, the articles that are really interesting.

Google never shows you anything any more from sites that aren't in the top 100 sites by traffic, and many of my searches don't fit that pattern.

Kagi does better, but there isn't a "downrank all the low quality spam" option.
