You can even search “what [music genre] is playing in [city] this November” and it lists them.
All of those would normally take multiple clicks/manual filtering or ad filled aggregator sites.
This time it was, "Did Paul Edwin Zimmer write a fourth Dark Border novel?" (Real answer: Yes, Ingulf the Mad. You can find the answer on his Wikipedia page.[1])
ChatGPT's[2] answer: "Yes, Paul Edwin Zimmer wrote a fourth novel in the Dark Border series titled "The Dark Border." This book was published after the original trilogy, which included "The Dark Border," "The Gilded Age," and "The Silver Sphere." If you're interested in the themes or plot, let me know!" (Note: these are not the titles of the 2nd and 3rd novels in the series. Also, it gave me the same name for the putative 1st and 4th books.)
Pure hallucination.

But I don't understand how all of these AI results (note I haven't used Kagi so I don't know if it's different) don't fundamentally and irretrievably break the economics of the web.

> Why would anyone ever publish stuff on the web for free unless it was just a hobby That's exactly what the old deal was, and it's what made the old web so good. If every paid or ad-funded site died tomorrow, the web would be pretty much healed.
I'm a little confused: I've searched the web with ChatGPT before. How is this different?

> those visions, users simply asked questions and received reliable answers - nobody had to fact-check the answers ever. It’s a fallacy then. If my mentor tells me something I fact check it. Why would a world exist where you don’t have to fact check? The vision doesn’t have fact checking because the product org never envisioned that outlier. A world where you don’t have to check facts, is dystopian. It means the end…
If you can’t trust the result of a query how can you trust the check on that query which is itself a query? If no information is trustworthy how do you make progress?
Will OpenAI pay Apple around USD$20bn per year to be the default search like Google?

I genuinely think Kagi has led the way on this one. Simplicity is beautiful and effective, and Kagi has (IMHO) absolutely nailed it with their AI approach. It's one of those things that in hindsight seems obvious, which is a pretty good measure of how good an idea is IMHO. Google could have done it and kind of tried, although they're AI sucks too much. I'm very surprised that OpenAI hasn't done this sooner as well. T…

Then this whole category is not known for "high quality recipes", so the general state wouldn't change much?

Yep, I was incredibly skeptical about Kagi but I tried it and never looked back. Now my wife, friends, and several coworkers are customers. The chatgpt approach to search just feels forced and not as intuitive.
Once Kagi implements location aware search that is actually useful I’ll be interested in Kagi. That’s what made me leave the engine besides loving it otherwise.
Every time I see one of these topics, I go ask chat GPT a question to which I know the answer on a topic where I would like to be able to get useful answers to similar questions that I do not know the answer to.

No, Paul Edwin Zimmer did not write a fourth novel in the Dark Border series. The trilogy consists of "The Dark Border," "The Dark Border: The Return," and "The Dark Border: The Reckoning." After these, he focused on other projects and did not continue the series.
