"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

"Thanks for voting — You’d rather skip AI. With DuckDuckGo, you can, because it’s optional."
It shouldn't even be an option, AI Has no fucking business being shoved into anything. Just stop.
Honestly, this comment and the link to a separate URL specifically for our kind was the first time I have felt negative towards DDG. Clearly whoever wrote that had gone through a couple of passes of softening the language because they were overly defensive toward the no-AI crowd.
Maybe make the 96% crowd the default and the 4% option opt-in.
