It finally happened... AI in #duckduckgo 🫠
Who's up for building a new search engine?
At least it gives you sources. How long until it recommends me to eat rocks?
@emi_cpl Looks like you can turn it off for now in search settings. Thanks for prompting me to take a look since I use DDG too :)
@emi_cpl
Maybe try Mojeek and Stract which build their own search index
@emi_cpl You can deactivate the AI assistant in the settings menu iirc.
@emi_cpl alternatives: https://kagi.com/ (paid) and https://search.marginalia.nu/ (hidden gems)
Kagi Search - A Premium Search Engine

Better search results with no ads. Welcome to Kagi (pronounced kah-gee), a paid search engine that gives power back to the user.

@emi_cpl isn’t #duckduckgo using #bing in the background to get the search results?
@emi_cpl Aaaaarg I switch from google to Duck Duck Go only for this.

@emi_cpl How’s startpage.com doing? Didn’t look much in depth but it’s popping up here and there.

Sad about DDG :/

@kwantumkraut haven't tried it enough yet
