I guess it's time I tried it because I'm not interested in AI powered search. No. Not now, not ever.
marc@TheGreatLlama @evacide @nuintari @kagihq Kagi gives me search. If I want AI I end my query with a ?
I do that maybe once every two or three months. I am extremely happy that the choice is mine to use or not.
I haven't played with kagi assistant so can't say how that fits into the scheme of things.
Dynom@TheGreatLlama @evacide @nuintari @kagihq if you can, please do use paid services, because those businesses could really use your business most likely.
However there are ample search engines that are more privacy focussed and (mostly) sans AI: startpage.com, search.brave.com and the already mentioned DuckDuckGo.
