jacquelines 🌟society: damn misinfo at scale is getting a bit out of hand lately. seems like a problem.
tech guys: i have invented a machine that generates misinformation. is that helpful?
pcbeardHooking up ChatGPT to Bing will only make me use it less (which is hard to do, since I only use DDG). But yeah, if anything, we need an AI version of Snopes to fact check its brethren.

DDG uses Bing under the hood. Not exclusively, I don't think, but it's there.
Darin Strachan@pjohanneson @pcbeard @jacqueline @moviemorgz this page on DDG sources explains it:
https://help.duckduckgo.com/duckduckgo-help-pages/results/sources/
“…we have more traditional links and images in our search results too, which we largely source from Bing.”
“When we send a request to a partner for information used in search results, the transfer of information is proxied through our servers so it stays anonymous.”
@darins @pjohanneson @jacqueline @moviemorgz thanks for the heads up. DDG certainly packages these results in a way I find more digestible. I find both Bing and Edge really uncomfortable to use. But it will be interesting to see if ChatGPT becoming more tightly integrated with Bing affects DDG in a discernible way.
Deadly Headshot@pcbeard @darins @pjohanneson @jacqueline @[email protected] If DDG gets contaminated by Bing's ChatGPT toxic waste, I'll have to find a new search engine. I wonder if @Mojeek can guarantee never to pollute their results with AI?
Mojeek Search Engine@dheadshot @pcbeard @darins @pjohanneson @jacqueline @[email protected] everyone's doing it eh? We've got some big things on the horizon but there's nothing like that 😉
