@Em0nM4stodon LOL @ no AI pollution, except for the big red box that clearly states that they use AI.

@Mojeek

@cliffwade @Em0nM4stodon @Mojeek This feature is opt-in though, unlike most search engines. As a matter of fact, they have a more hesitant approach to this than other search engines:

2. https://blog.mojeek.com/2024/04/mojeek-search-summary.html
3. https://blog.mojeek.com/2023/05/generative-ai-threatens-diversity-and-hyperlinks.html

Honestly and out of curiosity, do you know of some privacy search engines with no LLM integration?

@fonos I don't think it's opt-in actually. I saw the post, went to their site which I had never been to, search for something and the AI stuff was there, front and center.

Not sure why people feel it's ok to defend these things in any way. But the OP claimed that Mojeek uses no AI in any way, and that was proven to be false. Opt-in, opt-out, whatever. The claim is false.

@fonos I've checked again this morning and tested in 3 different browsers on two OS's, and the Summary button is always there. Yet last night was the first time I had ever heard of Mojeek, and therefore the first time I'd ever visited it.

In the end, it just really bugs me when people claim to be so anti-AI and swear that they don't use anything that uses AI and if you use AI you're a complete trash of a human. Yet it's so easy to discover that what they are using does indeed use AI front and center.

It's like they are trying to fit in with the cool kids, but they are failing miserably.

What's even more sad is, the original post will likely never be edited by the OP to state that Mojeek does indeed use AI for things.

Even after it was shown in a screenshot and three links provided from their own blog stating they use AI.
