Yeah. I really like Kagi. This is a terrible idea.

1. It seems to omit key facts from most stories.

2. No economic value is returned to the sources doing the original reporting. This is not okay.

3. If your summary device makes a mistake, and it will, you are absolutely on the hook for libel.

There seem to be some misunderstandings about what news is and what’s makes it well-executed. It’s not the average, it’s the deepest and most accurate reporting. If anyone from the Kagi team wants to discuss, I’m a paying member and I know this field really, really well.

Thank you. Also a paying Kagi user because I like the idea that it’s worth it to pay for a good service. Ripping off journalists/newspapers content goes against that.

Yes! I'm also a paying member but I'm deeply suspicious of this feature.

The website claims "we expose readers to the full spectrum of global perspectives", but not all perspectives are equal. It smacks of "all sides" framing which is just not what news ought to be about.
