In a recent DuckDuckGo poll, nine out of tenresponders said they don't want "AI" features.

    I hope they learn their lesson from their own poll.

      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.

      EDIT: I stand corrected – apparently DDG does do AI presently. Hopefully they’re serious about reconsidering that, then.

        … the fact DDG is not doing AI.

        They are, unless you opt out.

          Thanks for the correction! I updated my comment to mention it.

        I still get a bunch 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.

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