TLDR: I find the information I want much faster and much more frequently.

Ad supported search is not incentivized to find you information as fast as possible; the goal is for you to click on ads.

I hate paying for anything. I am cheap as hell, but it saves me enough time that I can justify it. I felt google search was getting worse while I feel Kagi search gets better. Plus I can customize Kagi to ban entire websites or show websites, such as this one, more often.

I am not sure what the user experience of your setup is but with Kagi I can tell it to summarize like 8 sites and quickly read through all of them on the page.

Also, I didn't know how to use AI well with search prior to Kagi; the ease of use really helped me maximize its use.

My home is ad-blocked up the wazoo. I love signal and hate noise. Kagi gives me that.
