- Praise: Gemini's ability to aggregate multiple documentation sources into a single step is a game-changer for efficiency — no more endless Googling for info!
- Praise: Kagi search is winning hearts, with users praising its business model that prioritizes user experience over advertiser interests, unlike Google.
- Praise: Many commenters see the potential for new AI search startups to create better incentives for content creators, which could revitalize quality online content.
- Concern: There's a real fear that if LLMs like Gemini only rely on existing web content, it could dry up new content creation — why publish if the bots take over?
- Concern: Commenters are deeply skeptical about the accuracy of LLMs, with personal experiences showing a near-failure rate when copying commands from AI outputs.
- Concern: The consensus is that Google's ad-driven model has degraded search quality, leaving users frustrated and looking for better alternatives.
