Shouty personTell DuckDuckGo where you stand on AI.

@clacksee Now… if only they were from somewhere else 😥
That’s what prevents me from using it.

Qwant and Ecosia are both based in the EU. And both privacy focused. Ecosia is all in on AI, though.

@clacksee I use Ecosia :-)
My browser doesn’t support setting alternate search engines as a default 😥
I really wish they changed that!

Amin Girasol@EdwinG what browser are you using?
@fluidlogic One of the rare non-Blink/Chrome ones: Safari
@EdwinG ah yes, the Internet Explorer 6 of the 2020s, I've heard it called!
Are you also on an older version of OS X?
@fluidlogic The current version.
We need variety. And there are only three browser engines that I know: Google (Blink), Mozilla (Gecko) and Apple (WebKit).
Most run on Blink, like Brave, Edge, Chrome, Vivaldi…
@EdwinG there's also Servo (now independent of Mozilla, still in alpha) and Ladybird (but the project is a Nazi bar).
@fluidlogic It’s the first time I hear of them… and they seem not advanced enough for daily use 😥
And Ladybird is a USA organization
@EdwinG yes. I don't know where the majority of Servo devs reside; I assume they're also based in the US.
To be clear, even if the Ladybird team were based in Europe, I wouldn't adopt their software, because of their politics.
It's a sad situation that we even have to make such considerations about the software we use.
genofire@clacksee @EdwinG wow, that needs @ecosia a Domain (or search parameter) without AI: https://noai.duckduckgo.com/
Current No-AI is really clear (with 93%) but it is with just 25.000 Voters not representiv:

I started using DuckDuckGo search instead of google, but every time I search there is an AI option even though I click "never" in settings every time. I'm using kagi a lot more now. Their AI option stays turned off.

Someone posted it on BlueSky.

@clacksee Someone shared it on reddit too but again not official account and no source. https://duckduckgo.com/vote/ on the other hand does seem official given the domain, and the results appear to be about the same, so it's probably fine.
Numbers seem to match across the two pages. I suspect it’s actually the same on the back end.

Pino Carafa@clacksee I don't mind AI as long as it is turned off by default and the user has to actively choose to use it. But if I get it shoved into my face the red mist comes down.

Another binary-stupid vote 
How about: “I want to see well-designed resource-optimized AI (machine learning) that doesn't get in the way and actively cuts down on the slop”?
But NO, only total hate and total love on the menu, of course!
This was a post about internet communication at large.

Lo Illetterato Lettore@clacksee black or white is not good. I love Duckduckgo and I love AI.
