Hey Product Hunt! 👋
I built Pre-AI Search after getting frustrated with how AI content farms have taken over Google results. As a developer, I was spending more time filtering through AI-generated noise than finding actual solutions.
What it does:
- Adds a simple toggle to filter Google results to pre-2023
- Helps find authentic content before AI farms took over
- Works instantly with one click
- No ads, no tracking, just filtering
It started as a personal tool but after sharing on Reddit, seems like many others needed this too. Would love your feedback on what would make it more useful!
P.S. If you're trying to do research, debug code, or find authentic content, just toggle it on and get back to actually useful search results.
@oli_evans you're right with Google now being filled with AI-Generated Content and hence this tool is interesting. Congratulations on the launch.
That said, would this tool support present day content eventually? That would be a deal breaker. And of course, what would be the accuracy as well? Some writers use AI to clean up or grammar proof their content while a good percentage is actually original. Most AI detection tools out there can't differentiate this sadly.
@michael_talreja Thanks for the congrats! 🙌 You raise an important point - we're currently focused on pre-AI content filtering since, exactly as you noted, it's incredibly hard to accurately distinguish between AI-assisted and fully AI-generated content. For designers, developers and creators who need authentic human references and inspiration for their work, the pre-AI filter has been super valuable.
Hey @mahendra_kushwah! It's super simple - just install the extension and you'll see a toggle button in Chrome. When you do a Google search, flip the toggle 'on' to only see results from before 2023 (pre-AI content explosion). Off shows regular results. Like a time machine for Google! Let me know if you need any other help getting started 😊
I’d like to ask if there are plans to launch products for other browsers in the future? As far as I know, the AI-generated spam in Baidu Browser is even worse.
I am a little confused. So this shows results the pre AI update and not the ones from 2024? If that's correct, isnt the search result outdated, assuming there would be some results that are genuine and non AI?
