Fuck AI

"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.

Good everyday search engine? (lemmy.world)

I currently use Startpage, but i'm wary of their Vanish AI. Or at least tired of seeing ads for it. I use Wiby and Marginalia already, but their indexes aren't really broad enough for much of what i need.

I figure this is a good place to ask because nobody here is going to recommend anything with an Al overview or other such crap.

Looking at my browser history, what i search for is technical problems with Linux, linguistics, games i play, CAD, fonts, recipes, typography, all sorts of stuff. Hence the desire for a general purpose search engine.

So what do you folks use? Is it just noai.duckduckgo.com for everyone?

I use Ecosia and Qwant. They are European services. Ecosia has AI button, but you don’t need to use it. Ecosia and Qwant have built a European search index, and will hopefully expand its usage through out this year.

Ecosia and Qwant have built a European search index

Did they build one each, or one together?

[–] ClassyHatter@sopuli.xyz 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It's a joint venture by the two. Here's a blog post from last year: https://blog.ecosia.org/launching-our-european-search-index/

And, this is the webpage of the search index: https://www.eu-searchperspective.com/
