  didn’t google just do the same thing?

  not enough people springing for the ai-addon by itself, so they just force it on everyone instead, at a ‘lower-but-still-higher’ price.

    I cancelled my Kagi subscription for a similar reason, didn’t wanna fund their AI tool development.

      Yo my knowledge they just use existing models. But yes, I think it’s a good idea to request they specifically don’t add to the steaming pile of slop

      Have you found a viable alternative? I like how Kagi takes my money instead of showing me ads and lets me filter out domains.

  So will business customers be able to disable the AI “features”?

  Hopefully lots of people cancel which makes other companies wary of trying similar.
