@lexfeathers It says that "we dont all feel the same way about AI" on the results page which is a statement that the results flatly contradict
@Montaagge @lexfeathers I guess they’re team “no means yes”?

Where's the "don't care" button? -

@lexfeathers
In what context? That's a meaningless question on it's own. -
@lexfeathers @vaporeon_ @IntrepidVector you can set it up as a custom search engine and then select it by default, that way all searches go to noai search. Even those from the address bar.
Instructions below for FireFox and forks thereof.

@callisto@disabled.social @harald@mementomori.social @darwinwoodka@mastodon.social @ottaross@mastodon.social You need to go to Settings - Search. Then at the bottom you have "search shortcuts", there you can click "Add" to add a new one. Name it "NoAI DDG" or whatever and paste https://noai.duckduckgo.com/%s In the URL field. (Right-click copy that since Mastodon sometimes hides the https part) Then you can go to the top where it says "Default search engine" and select the new one you just created. It's a bit different in the mobile version but similar enough.

@skylark13 @lexfeathers @vaporeon_ @IntrepidVector yup. this is the way.

I don't think it's that simple.
AI for cancer research?
Absolutely. I'm on board.
AI in a search engine provided 'free' by a corporation that exploits its users?
Nope.

@lexfeathers The thing is, I too dislike it typically but I still make use of genAI in the case of not finding any clues with ordinary search engine queries in hope to find references or other mentions.

@lexfeathers we need a "both".
-
@lexfeathers "Big Tech doesn't care if you want AI or not. They should.", written by the same company who added "AI" overview to their search without asking us...
I wonder what they'll do with the results, whether it'll make them reconsider it or not
@vaporeon_ @lexfeathers after voting "no", I was offered a link to "see what an AI internet would look like", which turned out to be an advertisement for "Duck AI", so… not excited

@lexfeathers I expected a big no but not this big hahahah

@lexfeathers "We don't all feel the same about AI"
Kinda... kinda looks like we do?
@notthatdelta @lexfeathers some amount of selection bias can be assumed, but still, heck

@lexfeathers And of course, even if you choose "No", DDG tell you how they're totally respecting that by making all their AI chat nonsense optional.
This is why when I open a private window with duckduckgo.com, I see two separate buttons with "Duck.ai" and if I make a search, I see both that, and also something rainbow-colored called "Search Assist". That's what they mean by "optional", they mean "we're actively promoting it and putting development effort into integrating LLMs with everything"

@Wintergr33n @lexfeathers Sorry friend, but you can't have one without the other. It's the system that's rotten, and it's why we need to reject AI in all its forms.

@lexfeathers In all honesty I think we should consider that this survey may only appear on the noai duckduck page. They didn't bother showing it to their non-noai customers. So it may be biased. I like it but it may be biased.
-
@vaporeon_ @lexfeathers you vote no and they’re like ‘buuuut are you sure?’ so i rather doubt they’ll be taking it to heart lol
@brhfl @vaporeon_ @lexfeathers they should let you vote on that question too, to tell them you're also not curious
