   Someone actually built a Chrome extension to "Hide annoying Google AI Overviews". LOL. Right now it only has 2,000 users, but I wouldn't be surprised if it reaches millions in a few months when SGE (Search Generative Experience) will be rolled out globally. https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/hide-google-ai-overviews/neibhohkbmfjninidnaoacabkjonbahn Duckduckgo is also releasing similar tech using AI .

     @artfulrobot @adorabilis @joe_vinegar yeah, the "funny" thing is that their slogan is "Kagi. Humanize the Web". I wonder how long before they drop it just like Google dropped the "Don't be evil" 😉

     @adorabilis @joe_vinegar I've been using Kagi for a few months now. If you don't like AI and LLM, then stay away from them too because they have been integrating it for months now (not just in the separate Summariser or Chat bot, but also in the quick answers)

     @andreagrandi @adorabilis @joe_vinegar yes, #kagi is really good EXCEPT the unwanted, unnecessary carbon spewing #ai which they seem to be leaning on more and more. Thinking of canceling my subscription.

     @joe_vinegar Kagi is paid but worth every penny. There’s a free trial (no cc required) so you can evaluate it. The devs are very responsive on Discord and the feedback forum. I’m fascinated by their ethos and direction. https://kagi.com

     @andreagrandi @artfulrobot @adorabilis @joe_vinegar As of this writing, there's only about 28,000 users and that's very small with no major bump. At this rate, they'll likely suffer the same fate as Neeva and pivot hard back to AI.

     @joeo10 @artfulrobot @adorabilis @joe_vinegar interesting read, thanks! I was aware of many of these things unfortunately. My issue is that I can’t find anything better at the moment. If I did, I would unsubscribe immediately.
