For search, use Kagi. You don’t have to use their AI products at all to just use search.

If Kagi made a cheaper "no AI" tier I would be happy to subscribe. AI is costly to run, so even if you don't use the AI it's priced into your subscription fee - you're paying for an expensive product you don't want or use. e: according to Kagi's pricing page they do have a 'no AI' tier, but it limits your number of searches to 300/month. Seems like a totally arbitrary limitation, but its still better than forced AI.

I understand your point in general, but I don’t think it applies to Kagi. Users were paying the same monthly fee and then the company added those features on with no extra subscription cost. I also like that it doesn’t clutter my search. It doesn’t appear unless I press the AI button or end my search with a question mark (can also be disabled).

The only extra costs are if you use the (opt-in optional) AI Assistant which is a web UI to access various models for chatting purposes. As an aside, they recently updated this UI so it’s actually usable as a ChatGPT or Claude alternative.

It's dramatically useful for millions of people who are now much more productive than they were 3 years ago, including the programmers who have 10x'd their output. Your superiority complex is nothing new... anytime new technology emerges, there's an old crochety class that thinks it's a fad. It's always people arrogant enough to believe they know the world better than everybody else. And no, billions of people aren't…

You really like to shift things into personal attacks, huh?

It is obvious from your comm…

Lol okay buddy. That's why there are literally millions of people spending money every month and upgrading because of how useful this is. But there's always some big brained ape on hacker news who thinks they know better and everyone is just riding the hype train.

Nearly half of Google engineers' outputs are coming from AI generated code, but you obviously know better than all of them.

Millions of people spending money is not an indicator how useful something is.

"Nearly half of Google engineers' outputs are coming from AI generated code" – let's take a look at the results: 30 discontinued products for the past 3 years, and just 1 new product: Gemini, which got it's glorious 10% market share. Now that's a productivity monster.

Google is such a successful company now: they released 1 new product which didn't even surpass the microsoft chatbot in market share, and people are adding "fucking" to searches in order to get adequate search results. Great growth, was definitely not possible without AI!

Totally. And where do you work that's so much more succesful? lol

No, millions of people smarter and more succesful than you TELLING you it's useful is what makes it more useful. But when you're this arrogant it'll never register.

Like I said, this is nothing new. It's like the arrogant boobs who thought smartphones were just a fad. Or the famous HN commenter who said Dropbox was pointless.

Allrightie, at least I don't have millions of people telling me anything, that sounds really uncomfortable

Excessive smartphone use can lead to mental injury btw,

take care

You might've been… slightly… more convincing if you had any sources to back that absolutely wild claim up.

That billions of dollars is being spent on AI? That's a wild claim?

That said "AI" is "very useful".

My partner has dyslexia and finds forms overwhelming. Chatbots break this down and (I suspect) give the same feeling of guidance. As for specific examples NHS has some terribly overwhelming forms and processes - image search IAPTUS. Another example; I was part of a team that created a chatbot which helped navigate internal systems for call centre operators. If a customer called in, we would pick up on keywords and th…

> As for specific examples NHS has some terribly overwhelming forms and processes - image search IAPTUS. Are those example where a chatbot helps fill out the form, or just examples of where forms are hard? My image search did not find any results of AI chatbots that helped fill out the form for you. Do you have a direct link to a form by any chance?

It was for examples of overwhelming forms to your #1.

Apologies for the confusion - that wasn’t clear at all.
