surely this won't bite them in the ass.
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.
A huge shit sandwich fantasy sold as reality.
Duck duck and go mother fucker
Their search sucks but you're right.
Sucks less than Google, has no ai, allows me to block certain domains from showing up...
has no ai
They have ai, but you can turn it off.
The way the implemented it feels like the dev tev team did not want to do it, but marketing had to have it on their feature list because all the other sites also added AI and they did not want to look like they missed the hype train.
Dammit. Now I have to spend more time at the library. Thankfully it ain't too far away.
Who still uses Google as a self respecting techie?
I guess it's a good damn thing I don't use Google anymore.
Once upon a time I was opposed to the idea of a "link tax". These days, at least in the context of websites getting summarized by AI before any traffic can reach them, I'm much more into the idea.
Isn't it already the case
I've been degoogling for the last year or two. Moved away from Gmail, Google Voice, Chrome, Android, et cetera.
Still been using the search, because as much as it's starting to suck, its results have still been comparatively better than the others I've tried(although recently I've tried Brave Search and DuckDuckGo).
But man, Google is fighting REALLY hard to lose me.
Dang. Sucks to be one of the idiots still supporting that website
They went from "indexing the world's information" to "plagiarizing and supplanting the world's information."
