“Kagi is bad. As evidence I present Siri.”


[flagged]


For someone guarding the platform from weaksauce nonsense comments you picked a strange one to defend.

I was commenting on the weakness of the analogy. There’s nothing in any of the 4 entities mentioned other than the author’s opinion about them.

Sorry my comment missed the mark for you.


It's taken as a given that Siri is inferior to ChatGPT. Both are natural language call-and-response models, but one of them is constantly in the news for diagnosing patients more accurately than actual medical doctors [1] and identifying a picture's location by the species of grass shown in a fifty-pixel-wide clump in the corner, and the other one can turn off your lights and order you a pizza when you ask it what tomorrow's weather forecast is.

Ergo, a person of average scholastic aptitude who is neither trying to ape late night talk show hosts by taking half of each single-colon-pair of an analogy, severing the other pair ends and any remaining context, and repeating the result with a well-rehearsed look of confusion; nor defensive about being called out for doing just that, can readily infer that the message being transmitted is that Kagi is fundamentally a tool very similar to Google, but which delivers inferior results.
