He's say splitting the pot for AI features reduces the value of improved search quality.
I'd rather that too. Kagi should try to curate like a Librarian and not some kind of oracle. They're not going to capture people with offering AI assistants. They will capture people by filtering out all the garbage places like Google throw into their results to get ad dollars.
Why are people pretending that search and AI are unrelated things that distract from each other? They’re obviously compliments
I think is because, whether intentional or not, Kagi wound up being aimed at (or sought by, either or) people who don't see these things are related.
I don't know if they're arrogant to consider themselves the main customer base, but I don't think it's an unfair assumption, either.
Kagi was almost advertised to me as what Google used to be. Again, I don't know if that's ever how Kagi put it themselves, but that's the impression that was given.
