“We have perfectly good search already…” “But it’s AI!” “I’ll buy your entire stock!”
The correct answer to “how to plan a road trip on the Amalfi coast” is

What are benefits of using openai search when we already have Kagi that is much more privacy a friendly, is ads free and provides the same functionality?
My question was about benefits of openai search compared to kagi search. How is this link related to my question?
It’s wild that they are not breaking even with these prices. I’ve had an annual subscription since January and made nearly 5000 searches. Extrapolating to a year, I will have been paying about $0.17 per search. If that would go to the electricity bill then it corresponds to about 1 kWh of energy, enough to run a 50-watt laptop PC for 20 hours.
they got very defensive about disclosing their search sources ever since the Brave thing, lol https://kagifeedback.org/d/5185-more-detailed-information-about-search-sources
I’m intrigued by Kagi and maybe I’ll try it. I like the business model of subscription instead of being the product. I don’t mind paying for my privacy. It’s not FOSS though, so we may never know if they’re not reselling our data.
