Duckduckgo has a survey for pro/anti-AI and I cackled so hard at the (current) results

@lexfeathers Just clicked the funny "No" button.

@lexfeathers @vaporeon_ @IntrepidVector you can set it up as a custom search engine and then select it by default, that way all searches go to noai search. Even those from the address bar.

Instructions below for FireFox and forks thereof.

@lexfeathers Has the question be created by AI? - Bc I strongly advocate using ai to assist doctors with finding good diagnoses but I strongly oppose using ai to creat dumb pictures.

[montaagge@kolektiva.social]

@lexfeathers It says that "we dont all feel the same way about AI" on the results page which is a statement that the results flatly contradict

[midtsveen@social.linux.pizza]

@lexfeathers I can’t help but think somehow they’re hoping this serves some sort of advertising purpose.

[giltay@tenforward.social]

@lexfeathers Do you think they made 500 YES AI and 500 NO AI pins for their 1000 first shares promotion?

[kronogarrett@meow.social]

@lexfeathers It’s even steeper now.

Of course:

“Maybe the users are ri-“
*someone who looks like Jensen Huang in groucho glasses slides them a bulging envelope*
(oddly cadenced generated voice) “-wrong. It is the users who are wrong, and are denying the agentic paradigm of the glorious AGI future. We must force it into their bodily orifices as they kick and scream. It is what it is.”
*the badly disguised man in the leather jacket smiles broadly and exits*

@lexfeathers lol at the "but but but" at the bottom of the page.

[yora@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@lexfeathers There is way too much AI in duckduckgo now. Yes, it can (seemingly) all be disabled, but we shouldn't have to.
It should not even be an option in the first place.

#AI #AIslop #slop

@lexfeathers

> We don't all feel the same about AI. That's why choice matters.

Poll says 96% against AI... Sure buddy
