I switched to duckduckgo before this bullshit, but this would 100% make me switch if I hadn't already.
Who wants random ai gibberish to be the first thing they see?
DuckDuckGo started showing AI results for me.
I think it uses the bing engine iirc.
Sure, but it's trivial to turn it off. While you're there, also turn off ads.
And you can use multiple models, which I find handy.
There is some stuff that AI, or rather LLM search, is useful for, at least the time being.
Sometimes you need some information that would require clicking through a lot of sources just to find one that has what you need. With DDG, I can ask the question to their four models*, using four different Firefox containers, copy and paste.
See how their answers align, and then identify keywords from their responses that help me craft a precise search query to identify the obscure primary source I need.
This is especially useful when you don't know the subject that you're searching about very well.
*ChatGPT, Claude, Llama, and Mixtral are the available models. Relatively recent versions, but you'll have to check for yourself which ones.
Better than an Ad I guess? Not sure if my searches haven't returned any AI stuff like this or if my brain is already ignoring them like ads.
The plan is to monetize the AI results with ads.
I'm not even sure how that works, but I don't like it.
