I guess it's some sort of sick performance art by showing that even though the >90% voted no AI, DDG will still have AI turned on by default in its main site and corral the >90% into the hidden away subdomain.
It's funny to me that their best excuse to you and me is "it's your choice." No reasoning about why AI is good or valuable, probably because they don't have one.
DDFG, maybe you guys should tell the AI devotees that it can be their choice, and make them turn on the setting themselves.
This is an obvious marketing exercise to promote their noai subdomain.
