As a former Kagi user (quit all my US company subscriptions recently in order to support EU) I’ve now used Startpage for a month and it has been great so far.

That “just Pocahontas” argument is kind of tiring because retelling a story doesn’t automatically make it bad. It’s like saying “Lion King, meh, literally just Hamlet”.

You’re not wrong but AI crap is still AI crap. (I get it, memes are memes etc etc…)

Look at the right hand, it has like two fingers/stubs. Or that “vehicle” in the background. All the details are completely off. I’ve been fooled by AI photos too, but this is not one of them.

You’d have to be blind to think that’s not AI. The details don’t make any sense and the proportions are just weird.
