Yes, the rumours are true!
Kagi ( https://kagi.com ) has been thoughtfully integrating AI into our search experience, creating a smarter, faster, and more intuitive search.
tacking on a bunch of LLMs sure is a way to “make the web more human”.
It’s often not a choice between an AI-generated summary and a human-generated one, though. It’s a choice between an AI-generated summary and no summary.
so, no summary at all, or one that does shit job pointing out important bits or gets them wrong and therefore isn’t a proper summary? choices, choices.
I’ve used some of these features when I’m trying to skim many articles for my grad school work. It’s not terrible.
There is a use case for this stuff. Especially in a search engine.
Short of hosting your own LLM, Kagi is one of the few I’d hope can get it right and respect privacy. (So far unverified on the AI side tho)
it sucks at summarising information, though https://www.crikey.com.au/2024/09/03/ai-worse-summarising-information-humans-government-trial/

Well that’s a bummer. I believe it.
