@henry_barreto @jcrabapple @TheBreadmonkey kagi is all about AI. It's funded by the same bros. And it's a US company so there is no real privacy because of us laws.

I was a paying customer until it went big on the AI crap.

The heavy, I felt, promotion of AI and remembering not to add a ? to searches (which triggers an AI summary) annoyed me.

But sure, other companies are also bad/worse, and google is dreadful.
