A search engine for the pre-ChatGPT web
CIFRA_art · reddit · 2026-07-20
This Reddit post highlights Slop Evader, an artwork by Australian artists Tega Brain and Sam Lavigne.
It behaves like a search engine/browser extension that only shows web pages published before 30 Nov 2022, i.e. before ChatGPT went public. The author notes that it can surface old Reddit threads, Stack Exchange answers, YouTube comments, and similar pre-ChatGPT web content.
The post frames it as more than a joke: it becomes a reflection on how fast the web has changed, and asks whether such a tool would be genuinely useful or mainly nostalgic/funny.
