This morning, I read something liks "Good bye Google! Hello ChatGPT Search!" and I wondered: where does ChatGPT get its search results from? And: Should I perhaps change to using ChatGPT Search instead of the Quick Answers I’ve gotten used to in Kagi Search?
Then I had the ingenious idea of answering both questions at the same time by asking both Kagi and ChatGPT Search the first question and comparing the answers to answer the second. The results speak for themselves.
This is ChatGPT Search:
And this is Kagi Search:
Do I need to explain why I will continue using Kagi for search (and ChatGPT for more complex reasoning tasks and questions that are likely to require a dialogue)?
To the people at Kagi: it would be really useful if you could find a way of letting users ask follow up questions to a quick answer (i.e. one that preserves the first answer as context). I wouldn’t necessarily expect Kagi’s AI to take care of this (let Kagi do search and hand over dialogue to LLMs that are better at that), but a link (“Discuss this with ChatGPT”) to the user’s favourite LLM would be very useful.
