Hold on, is #DuckDuckGo using LLMs for link previews now? This text is nowhere on the #Wikipedia page and doesn't sound like their style at all. When I use #Bing to search for the same thing, it doesn't give me this description.

#GenAI #LLM

@nicd Most likely. DDG has been experimenting on LLMs for a while, and propably moved those from a separate chat UI to the main search UI.

@autiomaa I hope not. This preview is worthless and doesn't tell me anything about how the words exist on the page. It's the exact opposite of what I want in a preview!

@nicd Agreed, it's a mess. 😧

@nicd DDG has been using the full Wikipedia data dump separately. Since the same dataset is also the most used dataset for LLMs, it isn't surprising to see those "summary" snippets (generated with LLMs).
