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.

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've been using startpage for about two years. It's okay. Not great but good enough that it handles 95% of my searches.
