  Because the poll just ended… it’s been opt out since before the poll and nothing has changed, yet (if anything does change). How is this not obvious?

    They should have asked before including AI in the first place.

      Asking an existing userbase for any kind of change will pretty much always result in a no.

      If the project requires minimal resources and doesn’t have a major downside, then implementing your own version before asking is fine.

        If you’re trying to position yourself as a search engine that hasn’t enshittified, don’t head down that road without asking. Know your userbase. They’re using duckduckgo for a reason.
