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.

Google search sucks ass anyway. Better to wean children off of Google sooner rather than later.

Should have started sooner, a lot of people seem to still think it is the only choice.

My phone reset the default search to Google and it was ridiculous. First page was all AI garbage sites and aggregators. I switched back to Bing, slightly less bad, and found my results on the first page. Gotta get DDG on the default list.

Startpage is a bit slower, but higher quality results.

What are the better options, I use DDG for reference. Curious if there is a go too. Haven't touched Google in years for a search. Do occasionally use their reverse image search no that I think about it.

DDG is going down in quality. Still acceptable. Startpage yields more assertive results, but it's a bit slower.
