  I use it for free access to gpt-4 and dalle-3. Can’t say I use it as a browser though.

    Just so you know - it’s nowhere near as good as the “real” gpt-4.

  Everybody who uses DDG is mostly using Bing. Albeit more privately.

    Huh. I had no idea! And I use DDG… But I feel like all search engines are shit these days. 50% of the hits are autogenerated translations with AI creating false .[country] domain (I’m in Denmark) which are just advertisements. I miss the old days of search engines. Fuck, even Alta Vista gave more right answers back in the Netscape days!

  I got super tired of google a few months ago. “Ah, you searched for these terms. But I am going to ignore that and instead show you results for these diffetent ones, because fu.”

  So I started using bing instead, I wouldn’t say it is worse. Just differently bad. Some search things are much worse, some are much better.

  Quite annoying how they keep pushing for “AI” all the time though, so might go back to google soon anyway.

  I will admit that I used it for years for the rewards, and it worked well for me. Once I started using a VPN though, it decided I could only redeem my rewards in Canada (I live in the US). I could have probably fixed it, but it caused me to have one of those “what am I doing anyway” moments and switch to using a SearXNG instance instead.

  Bing is so much better than anything else for image search in my experience. Anything else, lol.
