minus-squareEndymion_Mallorn@kbin.melroy.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up178arrow-down1·2 months agoYeah. I’m actually kind of upset that I have to type ‘noai’. That should be the standard.
minus-squarefelixwhynot@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·2 months agoI’m looking forward to adding it to my browser settings as default search!
minus-squareJamonBear@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up10·2 months agoAlready doable in Firefox, just right click in the search box then add search engine ;)
minus-squareteft@piefed.sociallinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·2 months agoJust edit the ddg entry instead of adding a new one. It’s super easy to change the url for the search in settings.
minus-squaretimbuck2themoon@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·2 months agoI don’t know how you do that. I can’t edit the standard DDG on desktop at all. Didn’t see anything at first glance in about:config either. Easier to me to just add a new engine.
minus-squareNotSteve_@piefed.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·2 months agoI’m pretty sure it asks you how often you want to see the AI overview doesn’t it? Can’t you just click never?

minus-squareEgonallanon@feddit.uklinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up10arrow-down1·2 months agoYou can turn all the AI features off on regular DDG search settings. Best I can tell that achuevescthe same as using the no AI filter.
minus-squareSeleni@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·2 months agoExcept it’s not very good. I turn it off and still get AI pictures and videos, and it gets rid of some pictures I know aren’t AI.
minus-squareLogi@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·2 months agoI like kagi’s approach of generating an AI overview if you end your query with a question mark. Is this a search or a question?
minus-squareEndymion_Mallorn@kbin.melroy.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up1arrow-down1·2 months agoI’m not a fan of Kagi’s approach to anything, frankly. The fact that they’re charging money for a search engine, and using an LLM? Hard pass.
minus-squareElectricd@lemmybefree.netlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·edit-22 months agoHow dare they charge money instead of selling data or ads!?
