After completing the survey, and of course wanting NO AI, DuckDuckGo of course suggested using their “no AI” search engine, bragging that “We’ve Turned Off AI‑Assisted Answers” and “We’ve Removed AI‑Generated Images.” The #2 result on my first rather bland search was Grokipedia.
I just had the same experience. The amount of effort it takes to act ethically and stay away from literal stinking piles of toxic waste every time you need to use the computer for anything is insane. Most common browser - AI, search engine - AI, messaging app - AI, phone - AI, TV - AI. And I use the term “AI” quite liberally here at best meaning machine learning and at worst a LLM.
