give me ai hallucinations over google every day of the week and twice on sunday…
Google isn't paid for keywords, that's not how search works. They sell ad space, Google does not rank up search content for payment.
And also the obvious point is, you don't need to trust Google because they merely point you to content, they don't produce the content. They're an index for real existing content on the web which you can judge for yourself. A search index unlike an AI model, does not output uniform or even synthetic content.

Looks like my comment wasn't as clear as I thought. I do not trust Google at all, and don't use it. That's why I pay for Kagi.
And Kagi has an option to disable the AI crap, so it's just like "a good search engine" instead, which is all I need.
A high quality search engine without ads, and without hallucinated bullshit.
Thankfully, Kagi also have a toggle to completely turn that crap (AI) off so it never appears.
Personally, I have absolutely no use for a product that can randomly generate false information. I'm not even interested until that's solved.
(If/when it ever is though, at that point I'm open to taking a look)
So yeah, Kagi definitely "leads the way" on this. By giving the user a choice to not waste time presenting AI crap. :)
