I'm glad that Kagi (and others) exist as an alternative for people who don't want generative AI in their searches.
Personally, I'm excited about more generative AI being added to my search results, and I'll probably switch to whichever search engine ends up with the best version of it.
This peacock thing was the last straw for me. I installed Kagi just moments ago.
And of course the first image for "baby peacock" is the same white chick thing… obviously because this story is making the rounds —_—
AI tools on the search page: sure, cool. I use perplexity a lot, actually. I'm in favor of this.
Search results that are full of content mills serving pre-genned content: no thanks. It's in the same category as those fake stackoverflow scrape sites.
Not sure if you’re being sarcastic, but they’re not talking about AI features of the search engine itself (Kagi has those too), but about nonsensical AI generated content on the web that exist solely for the purpose of getting you clicking on some ads. Kagi tries to make those sites stand out less on the search results.
