Apparently, it's not only em-dash that's distinctive. I've went through comments of the leader, and spot he also uses the backtick "’" instead of the apostrophe.
Just to be clear this is done automatically by macOS or iOS browsers when configured properly.

You can take whatever stand you want. When there’s a country that killed, raped and tried to exterminate most of Eastern Europe we can choose to cut any and all ties with it and consider them for all intents and purposes ..terrorists.
I sort-of see where you're coming from, but it also ignores a double standard to me. Don't buy search from a company that uses an api from another company that is (or was? unclear) based in a country that invaded another country and completely upended the world order. For some people that's a line that they don't want to cross and I get it. However if that's the case how can they continue buying Chinese products when…
Why are you assuming they are?

simply, you're using them wrongly
Let's assume that's true — I'm just bad at using AI. If that were the case, everyone else's AI creations would have a significantly higher quality than my own. But that's not what we observe in the real world. They're just as bad as what I managed to create with AI. The only ones I see who are happy with the AI output are people who don't care about the quality about the end result, or the details of it, just the sem…
Projects like this remind me of a plot point in the Cyberpunk 2077 game universe. The "first internet" got too infected with dangerous AIs, so much so that a massive firewall needed to be built, and a "new" internet was built that specifically kept out the harmful AIs. (Or something like that: it's been awhile since I played the game, and I don't remember the specific details of the story.) It makes me wonder if a ne…
If you play it again, make sure not to miss the Blackwall gateway quickhack: https://cyberpunk.fandom.com/wiki/Blackwall_Gateway Absolutely brutal: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LD5z3GmQRXQ --- I also noticed how simple the "new web" is when interacting with it. Of course, that's a game mechanic, but also kinda makes sense.

you're ignoring survivorship bias. anything text-based you can tell was made with AI input is something that was made using the AI poorly
But it's not the case. Of course, I could be wrong – maybe it's not AI, maybe it's just actual incompetence instead.
That said, humans usually don't approach tasks the way LLMs do. Humans generally build a mental model that they refine over time, which means that each change, each bit of code written, closely resembles other code written at the same time, but often bears little resemblance to code nearby. This is also why humans need refactoring – our mental model has changed, and we need to adjust the old code to match the new model.
Whereas LLMs are influenced most by the most recent tokens, which means that any change is affected by the code surrounding it much more than by other code written at the same time. That's also why, when something is wrong, LLMs struggle with fixing it (as even just reading the broken code distorts the probabilities, making it more likely to make the same mistake again), which is why it's typically best to recreate a piece of code from scratch instead.

There are few other powerful countries, with countless Web services, who freely wages war(s) on other countries and support wars in many different ways. Is there a way to avoid their products?
Whataboutism doesn't get us anywhere — saying "but what about X" (insert anything for X here) usually results in doing nothing. Some of us would rather take a stand, imperfect as it is, than just sit and do nothing. Especially in the very clear case of someone (Kagi) doing business with a country that invaded a neighboring country for no reason, and keeps killing people there.
* most of the evil stuff Russia's done, the USA's done way more of

Why this particular stand? Is doing nothing any better than taking what are essentially random stands? Obviously if you are Ukrainian this will be an important stand to you, but otherwise doing things based on a mix of what the media you like focuses on or whatever is not really very different from doing nothing.
Doing something is literally the opposite of doing nothing. This is complete gibberish.

I find this amusing, because it seems like Kagi's target audience dislikes this (politically polarized), and I as someone who is not Kagi's target audience likes this (politically neutral).
Why is supporting Yandex, who are involved in Russian politics and linked to the ruling regime, a neutral decision? That is very much a political decision, in the same way that working with US tech companies is a political decision. You need to decide what you're willing to tolerate and where your ethical lines are drawn; the alternative isn't neutrality, it's nihilism.
Kagi uses both Yandex and Google btw.
