It's nice to have choice here when, e.g. Google, has been trending in the opposite direction.

Even before this toggle Kagi's implementation seemed very opt-in. But default there aren't AI answers, a question market needs to be added at the end of the search string, and I believe that could be turned off. It seems like this new toggle would mainly get rid of the button to trigger an AI answer on the search page.

edit: Kagi Translate still works for paying customers. I was completely unaware they'd been giving it away for free.

Free? I'm a paying customer. Maybe you can't provide unlimited translate access, but I expect some amount of translation access as part of my Kagi subscription.

That's from the June 16 post, does that still apply?
