"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.

How is DuckDuckGo shitty? It suits me fine.

Here are my gripes:

  1. Uses Bing for a backend
  2. Too many ads
  3. Tries to be too much like Google
  4. Continuous attempts to force feed me AI

Ah yes, I have to admit the constant AI shilling does make me want to look elsewhere. I also didn't know that it's basically askjeeves but for B‽ng, lol

That's not the word I would use but yeah, it's basically a frontend for Bing. And what's especially annoying is that it serves you links to unpaywalled news that's behind an MSN paywall.

Thanks for that because I do feel like, thinking back to earlier today it wasn't giving me the video result I was looking for when searching for "Chinese tiktok make America great again"

shoves results about completely different contexts of the words, most noticeable when trying to look up game mechanics which share names with IRL phenomenon.
