David Chisnall (*Now with 50% more sarcasm!*)On the train and four older (60+) people are having a nice little grumble about how annoying it is that there's always AI at the top of search results and it's usually wrong.
Just in case you were worried that only young people hate this crap.
GeofCoxYou should have told them about NoAI DuckDuckGo

You do need to switch off their AI, but it's really simple and easy to do --> go to settings, and ensure that the AI settings switch is deactivated. As it's the very first setting you see, it's v easy.

I do tell people. Problem: same people don't know how to change search engines, much less, in that case, create a new one to change to... On a train, one might have time to change all their phones for them, but irl, there are not enough hours in a day to de-enshitify all the rampant enshitification capitalism hath wrought :-(
