Been trying to get away from DuckDuckGo because of their support of "AI" stuff, but come on, one of these isn't even in English, and that's what I have my language set to.

Possibly, though as another commenter mentioned, using the noai URL for the moment is a good way to voice discontent. Not using it just falls into the "everyone uses google" narrative in a different way.

If DDG's own poll didn't spell that out for them, I don't think they care.

Yeah, fair point. I wish DDG were going in a different direction.

Well that's interesting as a poll result. ๐Ÿ‘

The article behind the link at the bottom of the site shows that this is a marketing stunt

the poll numbers are still ๐Ÿ˜‡

Yeah, that's why I'm getting away from them. Thankfully the issue I was having seems to be a config issue and not a problem with SearxNG.

"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.
