Kagi is probably the only pro-LLM company praised on HN. Perhaps people's hatred towards Google outweighs that of LLM.

Imagine if Google news use LLM to show summaries to the users without explicitly saying it's AI on the UI.

Ironically, one of the first LLM-induced mistakes experienced by average people was a news summary: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cge93de21n0o.amp

Kagi made search useful again, and their genAI stuff can be easily ignored. Best of both worlds -- it remains useful for people like myself who don't want genAI involved, but there's genAI stuff for people who like that sort of thing.

That said, if their genAI stuff gets to be too hard to ignore, then I'd stop using or praising Kagi.

That this is about news also makes it less problematic for me. I just won't see it at all, since I don't go to Kagi for news in the first place.

I'm not against AI summaries if they are marked as so. Sneakily sliding LLM under the table is a dark pattern no matter how I interpret their intentions.

Even Google calls the overview box AI Overview (not saying it doesn't hurt content hosting sites.)
