"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

So I was dubious about this as well, but it turns out, it's actually rather well thought-out.
Each plan comes with AI support, but you don't have to use it and it's not enabled by default. So like, you search for "pizza toppings", and you get a bunch of pages talking about pizza and their toppings:
There's no unsolicited "AI" box at the top telling you to put rocks on there or anything insane like that. The availability of AI is there though, if you're into that sort of thing. Click the "Quick answer" button and you get something like this:
There's likely a way to directly invoke AI via their bang syntax (similar to DDG's), but I don't know what that is, 'cause I don't use it.
Either way, you can sign up and they give you 100 searches for free. You can trial it yourself if you like.
Well cool beans, thanks for the detailed reply!
Itβs a question mark. All you have to do to get AI results is put a question mark at the end of your search.
That's what I thought, but I tried "what toppings are good on pizza?" and it didn't trigger.
Oh you should report that as a bug. It definitely is documented as that being the trigger. https://help.kagi.com/kagi/ai/quick-answer.html
