"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.

I like the part where we're now pretending they're "pushing back" on forced AI almost a full year after implementing default, forced AI.
Where was this "norm" a year ago? Did the AI implement itself into DDG's main page by accident? Were they hacked? /s
It's fine that they made a mistake including default AI. But it's long overdue for them to admit that, and have some accountability, and maybe provide an apology, and an explanation. Instead, we get this milquetoast "Some people like it, some people don't, we weren't wrong it must've been you guys who changed your minds, but we're the good guys here, because now we're asking you!" gaslighting.
With all due respect, fuck you, duckduckgo.
