    So funny to be like AI can retrieve facts in .3 seconds. First of all, no it can’t. Second of all, can’t search engines do this? Haven’t they been doing this for years? Like AI is slower, less accurate and more wasteful than duckduckgo. Shouldn’t all her points have been true years ago?

      they’re sending kids to school to learn things that are already in books! and if they wanted to know them they could just learn them from a book! why even bother to learn from a book when they could learn it from a book?!

      forgive her, she’s been outsourcing all mental activity for a while.

      Duckduckgo uses Ai now too right? Better use startpage, it’s AI free and privacy based under eu law.

        It has a kill switch for all AI features. It also has a toggle for AI generated images in image search

          I’m not fond of the results ddg gives me. Startpage results are more like Google used to be back in the days when it was a proper search engine. Like over 10 / 15 years ago.

            The results are definitely terrible, mostly due to the AI slop sites that have been popping up in the last 3 years. I’ll give startpage a go, but I think we are already in dead internet theory territory. I’ve also heard good things about Kagi

              Yup, I believe you’re right with that one, and that there’s no return now with the current progress of AI. The internet is broken and it doesn’t look like the ones responsible for it have any intension of fixing that. They only will make everything much worse.
