I've dabbled with the ai I get from a kagi subscription its genuinely helpful with some stuff. If I put in a very fuzzy description of something I can write a paragraph about it and it will find it when no amount of searching has been able to turn it up. Its sometimes helpful with troubleshooting, sometimes not. I wouldn't trust it for any subject I didn't have some familiarity with and I do go double check some shit it tells me. Over all its fine but I wouldnt pay extra for it outside of my search subscription. I am still opposed to data center rollouts and power use that comes along with it and the lack of data sovereignty but a little box like a strix halo I could see being pretty useful.
