Ddg:
Ran https://voteyesornoai.com/ Where of 175k people, 90% said No AI
Offers noai.duckduckgo.com, presumably to cater to this 90% who don’t want it.
Has AI first features in main product. Does not advertise noai much.
So…
- It’s primary product goes against it’s market research
- It’s pushing AI, not promoting the alternative
- People keep promoting ddg for (2) despite (1)
Just seems weird.
Additionally, people told me that DDG is in bed with Microsoft. If that’s true, I guess Ecosia is hopefully better.
I’m on ecosia, it also has AI as default, at least it’s easy to turn off :/
why does a search engine that’s marketed as eco-friendly use ai?
