DDG is now offering free/private AI chat using several models.
Aaaaand the DDG enshitification begins... continues? continues.
I still use DDG (for search, none of the other bs they’ve been adding) because they are definitely better than Google or Bing. Is there a better alternative?
For searches, Kagi.
Whoa, awesome. I just tried it and copilot, which I did like, has been supplanted.
I’m getting way more accurate answers.
I tested it so to see some of its “honesty” limitations (against denouncing wrong beliefs) and found it quite fun … So, I made a couple of posts about it.
DDG secretly introduced a new subscription model. The AI chat could become a paid service in the near future. No way they can sustain giving it for free. lemmy.world/post/14554103

If they are using GPT-3.5 and Claude, that means that they are sending the chats to Open AI and Anthropic, right? How can they assure that the chats are private and not being used in training if they don’t control what other companies do?

Here’s the thing: they can’t.

They delete the chats but the metadata is forever

They say they proxy the requests. Deleting the chats after 30 days is meaningless, the data has already been utilized.
