Quant is building their own engine? When I was first evaluating them I thought they were independent, then learned they use bing results

These days I'm using brave even though I dont like the company cause they have an indepent engine and give the best results of a free alternative I've used, but I would love to have quant as an option with its own engine

Y'all do know Kagi is literally using AI to rewrite the news, right? Not only the headline, the entire body too. https://news.kagi.com/world/latest

If you think Kagi of all places is gonna be safe from AI, think again. They are all in on the AI hype train. They might not be selling your data (yet), but best believe you're paying them to train their AI.

I still sometimes need to use Google’s search engine, but the new default “AI Mode” is bullshit, so I use Violentmonkey and this userscript to force it to use the original default, “Web”: https://github.com/ZenithO-o/Fix-Google-Web-Search

brave search is ok too

DuckDuckGo is so frigging bad.

I wonder how this relates to the TRUMP AMERICA AI Act (yes that's really its name)

The draft bill also would require third-party audits of AI systems to prevent discrimination. The provision is intended to address concerns over alleged anti-conservative bias by tech companies.

Who needs to control all the media companies if you can just rewrite their titles to "fix" their bias?

I wish there was a FOSS or more open option, but damn I'm glad I'm using Kagi.

Yes, I've tried SearXNG. No, I don't think it's a viable alternative. (yet?)

Paywall.
