Dang. How could you tell? I've found it relatively easy to distinguish when it's "realistic" art but I don't know any techniques for identifying generated "drawings".

Do you know who the artist is?

Yes, I know..I'm not saying I need to use it or that it's forced on Kagi users. I'm saying that I personally don't agree with the amount of investment and focus on the AI/LLM integrations. I believe the investment would be better spent building out the Kagi index as well as privacy & security functionality. Again, it's a minor complaint and personal preference, not an attack on their business model, strategy or mission.

I still pay for the Ultimate subscription because I believe in them thoroughly. I just personally don't prefer to use LLMs most of the time.

I was paraphrasing (see: paraquote, slang) Ghandi. "Be the change you wish to see in the world".

The reference used to live here, iirc. They updated the language to say "all major search results providers" rather than listing the actual names as they did previously.

The other poster is right... The base plans don't contain any amount of "prompts" and are very reasonable /affordable.

Maybe "overuse" isn't the right word. "Over-investment" maybe.

I think the Universal Summarizer and Quick Answer are okay but the Assistant just doesn't do it for me. No one is forcing me to use it or pay for it however and I don't run the company, so it's a moot point...

They've reiterated that AI is central to their mission, I just don't find the LLM interfacing very compelling personally.

This is a pretty cool idea and I appreciate the aggregation, but the site itself works very poorly on mobile. Choosing from the picklist also selects the link behind it.

Any word on Windows? Despite the discourse around Kagi using Yandex, they did advise me that they are still building thier own indexes that are planned to eventually replace thirds party ones.

I'm still not a huge fan of the overuse of AI, but I do think Kagi is on the right track in a lot of other areas.

edit: I'm in the Linux community.... Ignore the first sentence 😅

Just keep posting and being the type of person you want to see as a community member here. The other site was exactly like you described above for a very long time!

That's fair. It's probably too small of a user base to warrant it's own community today.

Thanks Otter! It is a Canadian small town (Okotoks). I'll try getting it set up via web this week if I have time! Appreciate the guidance.
