@lexfeathers @vaporeon_ yeah I think this is mostly just to promote that their "AI" features are optional and can be toggled off, unlike with some other services. The poll reinforces the "you have a choice" message
@IntrepidVector @lexfeathers I see... Not really a choice if you clear cookies regularly and it defaults to it turned on and not to it turned off... I avoid it by going to https://lite.duckduckgo.com, the version without JavaScripts and without LLMs, but it doesn't have picture search, so for picture search I instead have to remember to type in https://noai.duckduckgo.com, which is somewhat annoying...

@vaporeon_ @IntrepidVector Yeah it's not great. Afaik some browsers are offering it as a default search engine? I heard librewolf is in talks about adding it as a default option.

@lexfeathers @IntrepidVector You mean lite.duckduckgo.com as default search engine? I can confirm that Librewolf does offer that, I switched to Librewolf recently over the Firefox LLM stuff and set the default engine to lite.duckduckgo.com

@lexfeathers "We don't all feel the same about AI"
Kinda... kinda looks like we do?

@vaporeon_ @IntrepidVector @lexfeathers it's a bit annoying to do it for each browser across devices but you can add and set the noai version as the default search engine

@lexfeathers Just clicked the funny "No" button.
-
@vaporeon_ @IntrepidVector I mean noai.duckduckgo
@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.

@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

@lexfeathers "Big Tech doesn't care if you want AI or not. They should.", written by the same company who added "AI" overview to their search without asking us...
I wonder what they'll do with the results, whether it'll make them reconsider it or not
@vaporeon_ @lexfeathers you vote no and they’re like ‘buuuut are you sure?’ so i rather doubt they’ll be taking it to heart lol
