    Schools shouldn’t ever use tools that interrupt a lesson with an ad.
    And we don’t know how much (if anything) it costs the school. It certainly doesn’t cost the student a subscription if that’s what you mean.

      Why should tax dollars be funneled from one AI-focused company to another?

      Especially this one.

      If ads on school computers are a problem, great, let’s just drop the whole internet from them.

        For exactly the reason I said.

        I mean yah, not allowing kids access to the internet at all for school Isn’t a terrible idea. Certainly one worth exploring at least. But failing that, minimizing ads online is a good step in that direction.

          You didn’t provide a reason to give this specific AI company money. You just said public schools should shuttle money to private companies in general.

          I’m asking about why this specific one.

            The reason I gave was that schools shouldn’t use services that have ads.

            Kagi is the only ad free search provider.
