A lot of what is mentioned in this article actually comes across to me as positives.

That said, one of the things that kept me from using Kagi much is their focus on A.I., which has been staring us in the face since Day 0. I hate A.I. Anything connected with A.I. carries a certain stain that is hard to articulate, but basically immediately makes me feel I have some insight into the psychology of the people behind it, and I do not like what I see.

I also think that a lot of people assumed that Kagi is privacy respecting without much evidence, it was never part of their pitch that I remember.

For those reasons I've just never used the service. This author's axes to grind beyond that don't concern me too much, but those two things are total deal breakers. Which is sad.

More variety in the search space is still good from my perspective. I still hope that Kagi succeed.
