Nemo_bis 🌈Why does the collapsed text of {{expand Finnish}} on the English <a href="https://mamot.fr/tags/Wikipedia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Wikipedia</a> end up in the <a href="https://mamot.fr/tags/DuckDuckGo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DuckDuckGo</a> snippet?

schnittchen 🏳️‍🌈 :neocat_flag_gay: :neocat_flag_polyam:I just searched for "editor in chief" using <a href="https://botsin.space/@duckduckgo" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@duckduckgo</a> and look what it served me:The first regular hit is <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Editor-in-chief" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Editor-in-chief</a>. But the "quoted text" below it does not sound like Wikipedia at all:> Learn about the role and responsibilities of an editor-in-chief, who is the editorial leader of a publication with final responsibility for its operations and policies. Find out how the term is used in newspapers, magazines, journals, and academic publications.They are unable to give me a proper summary but serve me some uninformative vague "engaging" slop instead. <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/duckduckgo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#duckduckgo</a> <a href="https://tech.lgbt/tags/slop" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#slop</a>

BørgeJesus Christ! Not only has DuckDuckGo set up a specific website just for AI shit recently – now they have even started showing LLM generated bullshit by default in their search results. I don't want this! I never asked for this! Duck your climate destroying spam and propaganda machine!I really need to get my act together and find a new search engine ASAP. But I can't say I've heard about anyone I'm convinced about, unfortunately.

Marcus<a href="https://furry.engineer/@soatok" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@soatok</a> They're monitoring <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/DuckDuckGo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DuckDuckGo</a>; makes me curious what kind of information they're able to glean from something that is supposed to be a privacy friendly search engine that doesn't even have an accounts system. Maybe something to do with its AI front-end or something? Maybe they're just logging the IPs of visitors since Signal's website is also on the list.

hawthornbunnyI switched to DuckDuckGo as my in-browser search engine last week, as I was fed up of Google crippling their own product with AI. And hey, it's not bad. DuckDuckGo does have AI features, but lets you tone them down or turn them off completely, which I did. I'll be sticking with it for the foreseeable future. <a href="https://equestria.social/tags/duckduckgo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#duckduckgo</a>
