Finding web info like google used to in 2010 before ad based content over swept all the searches
LLMs are only useful because Google has deliberately made their search engine worse. Since I pay for Kagi, I don’t need to consult a chatbot anymore, I can just search again like I did before the AI hype.
So we technically don’t need LLMs for search. But we are nudged extremely hard into that direction.
I like the chatbot kagi has in their pay tier but not enough to pay for the biggest tier. Its been useful for searches like “I want the best GPU that will fit in 220mm” but aside from that I’m happy enough with their search to not bother.
