Gad srsly what is Google doing?
They must think nobody actually needs real search anymore.
I've been training myself to add "-ai" to searches but maybe it's just time to make duckduck the default.

joël@grechaw @econads @TheBreadmonkey you can filter out the ai-crap from google by https://udm14.com/ but that doesn't hinder anyone to generate a fake trailer or, scourge of the earth, an article that uses all the right keywords but has no information at all (every time I look up if a second movie/season of something is comming)
@TheBreadmonkey yeah, that's my first try, too. But sometimes the information just isn't there or it's unsure if it's up to date

I've not googled anything for years, dunno what all the fuss is about ;-) not that #duckduckgo is perfect, but it's certainly useable. I have turned off the AI summaries, but that's a 1 off cookie, not something I need to do every time.

niu tech@econads @grechaw @TheBreadmonkey DDG relies on Bing results, when Bing API was recently down, DDG also didn't work, whereas Brave Search is truly independent.

Not all:
"To deliver Instant Answers on specific topics, DuckDuckGo leverages many sources, including specialized sources like Sportradar and crowd-sourced sites like Wikipedia. We also maintain our own crawler (DuckDuckBot) and many indexes to support our results. Of course, we have more traditional links and images in our search results too, which we largely source from Bing."

But I'm not trying to police anyone
