Internet search question:
A number of people I follow on Mastodon, including some high profile ones like Cory Doctorow (npub1fdr…lvhs) , recommend Kagi as a search engine. Most of these same folks are not keen on #AI.
But Kagi builds AI right in, I don't even know if it can be turned off. What am I missing?
"Generative AI on the other hand can automatically process and analyze information to answer questions like the one above, thus giving users exactly what they want."
