 We don't stop there; we are always trying new things to surface relevant, high-quality results. For example, we recently launched the [Kagi Small Web](https://blog.kagi.com/small-web) initiative, which showcases content from personal blogs and discussions around the web. Discovering high-quality content written without the motive of financial gain gives Kagi's search results a unique flavor and makes it feel more humane to use.
 
-Our search results also include anonymized API calls to all major search result providers worldwide, specialized search engines like [Marginalia](https://search.marginalia.nu), and sources of vertical information such as Wolfram Alpha, Apple, Wikipedia, Open Meteo, Yelp, TripAdvisor, and other APIs. Typically, every search query on Kagi will call a dozen or so different sources simultaneously, all with the purpose of bringing the best possible search results to the user in a split-second.

 Our unique algorithms down-rank pages with a lot of ads and trackers (which we have found correlate with a decrease in content quality) and promote content from independent, ad-free sources and personal websites. This ensures that Kagi shows results that delight users and are [worth paying for](https://help.kagi.com/kagi/why-kagi/why-pay-for-search.html). Subscriptions from our members pay for search results, allowing Kagi to remain [ad-free](https://blog.kagi.com/age-pagerank-over) and [100% privacy-respecting](https://kagi.com/privacy).

 Why do Kagi's search results stand out even though other search engines have access to the same sources? The main reasons are:
 
-**Kagi focuses on users, not advertisers**: This user-centric approach significantly enhances our ability to highlight high-quality search results. For instance, we effectively mitigate SEO spam by down-ranking websites reliant on ads or trackers. Since these spam websites predominantly monetize through ads, they become easily detectable. Our consistent strategy of combating ads in all forms prioritizes high-quality web results.  Kagi is demonstrating to the world that solid web search is possible and that [bad search results are a choice](https://pluralistic.net/2024/04/04/teach-me-how-to-shruggie/) made by legacy, ad-supported, search engines.

-**Innovative search experience**: Product features such as [promoting and blocking domains](../features/website-info-personalized-results.md) allow the users to be in control of their search feed. The most promoted and blocked domains among Kagi users can be seen [in Kagi Stats](https://kagi.com/stats?stat=leaderboard).

With [Quick Answers](../ai/quick-answer.md) users can get a brief summary of the search results and [Summarize Page](../ai/summarize-page.md) allows Kagi users to summarize any result (even a YouTube video!).

This stems from our unrelenting pursuit of the finest results, from all available sources, regardless of the cost. We call upon multiple, diverse, information sources for each search. We know that our members care about always getting the best search results possible, and they are ready to pay for that.

 # Kagi's AI Integration Philosophy
 
-Generative AI is a hot topic, but the technology still has flaws. Critics of AI go as far to [say](https://www.nytimes.com/2023/03/08/opinion/noam-chomsky-chatgpt-ai.html) that "*[AI] will degrade our science and debase our ethics by incorporating into our technology a fundamentally flawed conception of language and knowledge*".
+Generative AI is a hot topic, but the technology still has flaws.

 From an information retrieval point of view, relevant to our context of a search engine, we should acknowledge the two main limitations of the current generation of AI.
 
-1. Large language models (LLMs) should not be blindly trusted to provide factual information accurately. They have a significant risk of generating incorrect information or fabricating details (confabulating). This can easily mislead people who are not approaching LLMs pragmatically.  (*This is a product of auto-regressive nature of these models where the output is predicted one token at a time, and once it strays away from the "correct" path, for which the probablity grows exponentially with the length of the output, it is "doomed" to the end of output, without the ability to plan ahead or correct itself*).

-2. LLMs are not intelligent in the human sense. They have no understanding of the actual physical world. They do not have their own genuine opinions, emotions, or sense of self. We must avoid attributing human-like qualities to these systems or thinking of them as having human-level abilities. They are limited AI technologies. (*In a way, they are similar to how a wheel can get us from point A to point B, sometimes much more efficiently than human body can, but it lacks the ability to plan and the agility of human body to get us everywhere a human body can*)

+These limitations require us to pause and reflect on the impact on the search experience before incorporating this new technology for our customers. As a result, we came up with an AI integration philosophy that is guided by these principles:
 
-1. **AI should be used in closed, defined context relevant to search** (don't make a therapist inside the search engine, for example)  
-2. **AI should be used to enhance the search experience, not to create it or replace it** (meaning AI is opt-in and on-demand, similar to how we use JavaScript in Kagi, where search still works perfectly fine when JS is disabled in the browser)  
-3. **AI should be used to the extent that it enhances our humanity, not diminish it** (AI should be used to support users, not replace them)

 While it's important to use AI tools responsibly and not overly rely on them, the design of these tools can sometimes make it difficult.

 ## Kagi vs. DuckDuckGo
 
-DuckDuckGo has shown the world that a privacy-first search engine is possible, and we respect this contribution. But its innovation has slowed in the past decade. And, ad-supported business models will always force a company to make compromises and balance between serving users and advertisers. In the end, DuckDuckGo's search product is just ”good enough” (by our standard, sorry, DuckDuckGo!) and has been stagnant for years without any ground-breaking feature development.

Kagi Search already has many unique features, like [Lenses](../features/lenses.md) and [Personalized Results](../features/website-info-personalized-results.md#personalized_results). And because we depend only on our users for revenue, Kagi can and will always offer a much richer search experience for the user.

 We appreciate that Brave is making a free search product and that it cares about user privacy. That said, we believe that Kagi Search is a better solution.
 
-Brave Search is pursuing an ad-based model where users can pay to opt-out of ads. This means that the product direction of Brave Search will be greatly influenced by the needs of advertisers. Kagi Search does not accept advertising and our product direction is guided only by the needs of users.
