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.

If by "poll", you mean advertisement for their search engine, then yes. Yes, they are.
They know we hate AI, yet the AI search is opt-out. Weird.
Yes = 3% No = 97%
The "noai" image search is returning some AI images.
Are you saying your image search on ddg with noai. price still finds ai generated images? That isn't what the "noai" is meant for, unless I'm misunderstanding you.
It's meant to tell ddg to not put your question or search through an ai that attempts to answer it, like Google and all others are doing now by default, at the top of the page. It can't magically tell if an image that matches your search was made by ai or not, of especially not without using ai for this (ironically).
If that's the case, then I misunderstood the point of the noai image search.
Dupe
