I switched to Kagi like 6 months ago and I still love it. Almost never have to go back to google except for maps.
I wonder what the power consumption of getting to the information in the summary is as a whole when using a regular search, clicking on multiple links, finding the right information and extracting the relevant parts. Including the expenditures of energy by the human performing the task and everything that surrounds the activity.
There are real concerns surrounding AI, I wonder if this is truly one of them or if it’s just poorly researched ragebait.
All of this just to give rich shareholders even more money.
I would point out that Google has been "carbon neutral" with it's data centers for quite some time, unlike others who still rape the environment ahem AWS.
