"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.

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.
