"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.
Yes, I'll just trust the AI to help me fuck around with grid voltage levels.
With google search results becoming so poor, I guess I need to look into kagi or duck-duck. Pain in my dick, motherless goatfucking, horsehit-happy asshole, corporate varmints gotta fuck it all up for more profit. I'm tired, yo.
Duckduck go is just an external marketing venture for bing.
Just remove the ai element with ublock origin filters on whatever search engine your used to.
If you care about privacy spin up a searxng which grabs results from all configurable search engine without accepting bribes for special tracker acces.
This will still waste all the energy. Just use the noai version
Add &udm=14 for a google search and it doesn’t
Local searchxng doesn’t have ai features to need any noai. It still the superior choice.
Though you could argue that cause searchxng queries multiple search engines at once this is a bigger energy costs then just the one. But you could configure it to only search by you deemed ethical engines.
Duck duck go just isn’t a choice, you and others can still choose it but i have yet to find even a single benefit to it. The privacy is fake and the results are meh.
(Remember when “no one wants to use bing” was a meme?)
