When I do a web search, I do not want Google to go to the websites for me, pull the information, and interpret it for me. I want it to give me a list of websites that I can read and evaluate myself because AI is frequently wrong: https://techcrunch.com/2026/05/19/google-search-as-you-know-it-is-over/
Google Search as you know it is over | TechCrunch

Google is transforming Search from a list of links into an AI-powered experience filled with conversational answers, autonomous agents, and interactive interfaces — a shift that could further reduce traffic to publishers across the web.

@evacide Welcome to paying for decent search!

I've been using @kagihq for over a year now.

The ad ridden bullshit layer is long gone.

@nuintari @kagihq I am also a fan of Kagi.

I guess it's time I tried it because I'm not interested in AI powered search. No. Not now, not ever.

@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.
