It's not binary - it's a continuum.

When you go to Google News, the way they group together stories is AI (pre-LLM technology). Kagi is merely taking it one step further.

I agree with your concern. I see this as a convenient grouping, and if any interests me I can skip reading the LLM summary and just click on the sources they provide (making it similar to Google News).

I would argue creating your own summary is several steps beyond an ordering algorithm.

It cannot be "one step further", because there's a clear break in reality between what Google News provides and Kagi provides. Google News links to an article that exists in our world, 100%, no chance involved. Kagi uses an LLM generate text and thus is entirely up to chance.

Devil's advocate here.

Do you know that's what they're doing? They are a search engine after all. They do run their own indexer, as well as cache results from other sources.

If they're feeding urls to an AI, why can't they validate AI output urls are real? Maybe they do.

You don't and you should not use this one either.
