Comment on DuckDuckGo poll says 90% responders don't want AI

  I mean, the poll was like as not a publicity stunt, to draw attention to the fact DDG is not doing AI. All the same, the fact they are making “no AI” a selling point is noteworthy.

    … the fact DDG is not doing AI.

    They are, unless you opt out.

    I still get a hunch of AI bullshit unless I go out of my way. Also I swear they keep reactivating it as much as google when you opt out (or select ddg no ai as your search engine in Firefox and still see that garbage).

      Thanks for the correction, I was indeed wrong about that. I updated my comment accordingly.

  It’ll be a cold day in hell when AI-horny suits learn the lesson that people don’t want AI

    I’m giving them the benefit of the doubt for now.
