A question mark after a search on Kagi gives you an AI summary, the latency is good. If you go for the highest tier subscription on kagi, you get https://kagi.com/assistant which gives you a huge swath of AI models to handle your searching.
True, but I still pay for both Claude and ChatGPT so that I can use the latest models.
Search is primarily a portal - you know a particular resource exists, you just don't know its exact URL. You hear about this new programming language called "Frob", and you assume it must have a website. So you google "Frob language". You hear that there was a plane crash in DC, and assume (CNN/AP/your_favorite_news_site) has almost certainly written an article about it. You google "DC plane crash." LLMs aren't ever…
Keep in mind that I'm not counting in my 75% queries where I get my answer from Google Gemini I'm just guessing if you added that in, it would rise to 85-90%.
My thought is if browsers and phones started pushing queries over to an LLM, search (and search revenue) would virtually disappear.
It’s tough to find anything useful these days because of all the spam - especially due to AI, content. If I do use it, I usually use it to find something on Reddit.
It's extremely disheartening. I have no trust in Youtube staying accessible as a font of public knowledge. It just works out that way now.
Reddit seems hit or miss depending on the topic. Plenty of threads there where [deleted] asked a question and [disgruntled user] replied with something which has been replaced with random text by a fancy deletion tool.
Even without much customization (lenses, scoring, etc) it's so much better (for my use cases) I happily pay for it.
Recently I have also started to use Perplexity more for "research for a few minutes and get back to me" type of things.
Queries like "what was that Python package for X" I usually ask an AI right from my editor, or ChatGPT if I'm in the browser already.
For example Jeep consistently lands at the bottom of the reliability ratings. Try asking GPT if Jeeps are reliable. The response reads like Jeep advertising.
