TechSpotDuckDuckGo made sunglasses that do absolutely nothing, and they sold outDuckDuckGo's latest product is a pair of ordinary sunglasses, with no added features such as video recording or generative AI integration. Part marketing campaign and part wearable...
DuckDuckGo should apply this lesson to their search engine!
DuckDuckGoDuckDuckGo No-AI: Private Search Without AIDuckDuckGo private search with all AI features turned off. The classic results you expect. Always private.Replying to @notabot@piefed.social
I maintain that this should be the default behavior and the AI be opt-in

AI is the future of search and I dont see anyway that changes. The user experience of AI search is way to good, average users love the summary at the top of their search. Almost every report i’ve seen shows over 50% of people using AI for search and that tracks with what I see in people i know in real life.
I’m a DDG user and I do not want them to handicap themselves to pass a purity test.
Its wrong though. Its wrong so fucking often. There’s no way to fix that. I stopped using ddg because of this. Pandering to right wing idiots does not necessarily mean being smart, that’s thatcherite Nazi coddling lies.

Ignoring the schizo half of your question, what would be an acceptable error rate for you?
The acceptable inaccurate result rate is 0%. I think that’s unachievable by LLM tech.

No search will ever give you the correct answer 100% of the time so I dont know why you’d draw such a dumb line in the sand.
I mean unless you dont use search engines, don’t use libraries, don’t talk to humans.
