They’ve decided to incorporate ChatGPT.

    I use ducks AI chat to help me with small tasks and its honestly pretty great. Always worked and has provided me with useful results.

    They claim its anonymous, maybe they are lying, maybe they are not. I make sure to rinse anything I put in there first just in case.

    I mean, this seems like a really stupid gripe. You can completely disable it for your searches: https://i.xno.dev/FUHSj.png

    In addition, it gives you a way to interface with ChatGPT without an account, or using the API, and maintaining privacy… I see this as an absolute win. They stay competitive by including AI for people who can’t live without, while making it completely optional. Offering duck.ai is a smart move, too. I just don’t see the issue here.

      Defaults matter. Every time you open a private browsing window, that’s what you’re going to get. Every time you use LibreWolf or Firefox Focus or any other browser that disables/clears cookies by default (which is a good practice), that’s what you’re going to get.

      I don’t want anything I search for going into OpenAI. Ever. I’d feel fine about this if they hosted their own models.

        Like, sure. That’s a valid argument. But it’s not the end of the goddamn world because they make you click a button to use a completely free service.

        If you’re that pissed about it, then setup SearX yourself. Not sure why every “technologist” feels like their opinion is the only that matters and gets butthurt about shit like this.

    Am I the only one noticably receiving more adds on duck duck go last few days/week?

    I feel like the adds and the AI response thing make it much worse.

    Have to scroll a whole screen untill I see a organic result.
