Except Perplexity, which is indeed a search engine.. which might explain why it does so well there.

    I’m curious how Kagi would hold up, but the AI BS is entirely opt-in there so maybe they didn’t include it because of that.

    Edit: lmao Perplexity is gross. Who would use this instead of an actual search engine?

    I've used it a few times when I struggled to find answers with regular searches and felt like giving up or just wanted to see what it has to say. I took it for a spin for a test right now, asking "Which is the safest LLM service for a company in regards to privacy? ChatGPT, Anthropic or Mistral" and it actually found stuff that I didn't before when I was looking into it.
