Wait wait wait wait. Does Kagi only pass The Test because it sources from Google?

Our search results also include anonymized API calls to all major search result providers worldwide

I asked their support. I am insufferable.

"I am not interested in the vowels of Kagi" was a cute one, though, however insufferable.

Support just reiterated that they rely on different sources, and teclis.com does not find it, so I'm fairly confident that Kagi succeeds here because they source from Google.

Without the AI, I might have switched for ideological reasons, but for now I'll just keep using Google (directly).

@ah Kagi doesn't use AI unless you ask it to (with a ? prompt). And I would rather anonymously invoke google and other sources and have control over my results than use Google's mandatory AI-infested search.

@ah also I'm sick of my every move being tracked and monitored for ads. I'm trying to avoid ad-supported webpages.

@liamoc There's no AI in my Google search results, but I sympathise with wanting to simply pay for a service and I have done that for other stuff.

@ah doesn't google automatically give you a chatbot answer to many searches above all your search results?

@liamoc I'm using the AI-free, cards-free tab. The moment they remove that, I'll have to reconsider.
