Right now if you search for “country in Africa that starts with the letter K”:
-
DuckDuckGo will link to an alphabetical list of countries in Africa which includes Kenya.
-
Google, as the first hit, links to a ChatGPT transcript where it claims that there are none, and summarizes to say the same.
This is because ChatGPT at some point ingested this popular joke:
“There are no countries in Africa that start with K.” “What about Kenya?” “Kenya suck deez nuts?”
How are you liking Kagi?
Not op but I love kagi. I’ve tried so many search engine alternatives and always found myself going back to Google (or using g! to get Google results)
Kagi is the first I’ve tried where the results are good enough (and get better as I tailor what domains I want to appear higher or lower) to not have to rely on Google. I am a pretty avid searcher though and found I need to be on the $10/month plan for it to work out to the cheapest while still searching like I normally do
I think I stopped searching for things because Google got so damn bad. I remember the days when I could go several pages deep just looking through the internet.
Kagi is definitely peaking my interest from what I’ve seen so far.
Switched a year ago and never looked back. I was using ddg before that. Highly recommended. Being able to block and rank sites is great. You can also setup redirects and there’s a quick link to the Internet Archive for every link too.
