So, like a baby Yahoo! directory?

I wonder just how long it will stay relevant and how they determine if the content comes from a human. So far I've been accused of being a bot several times, clearly reliably detecting humans is beyond the capability of .. humans.

Mmm… that’s something a bot would say.

or like lemmy? kagi is also very pro activity pub. this feature is kinda old actually. give it a try! also give kagi search a try

Like a small curated stumbleupon. I gave it a few clicks a little while back and as you'd expect theres a pretty wide range of good to junk content on there, but it all felt distinctly human.

Since none of the pages are ad ridden its hard to imagine the AI crazies wasting tokens on something they can't really monetize.

Whereby they can detect anomalous usage of language. Moreover, using whereby and moreover seem to be key indicators that something is written by ai .

This Kagi?

Between the absolute blase attitude towards privacy, the 100% dedication to AI being the future of search, and the completely misguided use of the company's limited funds, I honestly can't see Kagi as something I could ever recommend to people.

Use of funds is misguided sure, but all the AI stuff is completely optional and has never ever gotten in my way

This is actually pretty nice. I guess we will see similar projects popping up in the near future.

This sounds great. You still need a subscription to use it? I may be the thing that finally convinces me to get one.

[-] brendansimms@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Sounds interesting. I currently pay the 5$/month for the Kagi search engine and that works great so I'm inclined to trust them on their other ventures.

Their 'Research' AI is pretty decent too. I can get to the same ends eventually, but I can't read and digest 25 different pages and then launch another 10 follow-up searches in 15 seconds. It's summarizing and not simply inferencing so the hallucination rate is acceptably low and it also cites the sources so you can click a footnote to fact-check any important details.

I self-host most things, but I can't self host a search engine. I much prefer paying monthly than having to fight the eternal battle against tracking and ads.

You CAN self-host a search engine, look up searxng.

Yes it's a metasearch engine, but so is Kagi for the most part, their own indexes don't cover everything.
