Fuck AI

"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.

That's fair. Just wanted to point it out to the user I replied to, who seemingly still uses it but doesn't realize they don't need to have that worse experience.

Unless one makes sure to stay logged into DDG you’re always going to get the default. So for all intents and purposes yeah you do “need.” To use the worst experience.

Nope. It saves your settings across searches. You can also use https://noai.duckduckgo.com/, no need to login.

It can't save your settings if you're using incognito or block all cookies etc. (edit: so I'm using the noai link from now on)

Sure, in which case you can just use the alternate URL.

I think we have a misunderstanding. I am referring to duckduckgo.com. Not the no ai version.
