I find it pretty interesting that kagi is rated as Terrible search engine, even ChatGPT preforms better.

I use it as an answer engine. Queries like: what's that css property for xyz, or please summarize this email, or give me the top 25 most commonly used color words in English in a json schema like this.

All of that could be found with a normal search engine but I'd have to work harder and sort through a lot of trash along the way.

ChatGPT just understands what I'm looking for almost no matter how poorly worded my query is and just answers the question.
