I just searched for "editor in chief" using @duckduckgo and look what it served me:

The first regular hit is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Editor-in-chief. 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. #duckduckgo #slop

What the Duck!?!

"When you view search results (including ads), your searches cannot be tied back to you, either by us or our partners."

Jesus 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. What do you recommend?

My Dark Visitor plugin just alerted me that DuckAssistBot is ignoring robots.txt.

Not cool, #DuckDuckGo. Not cool.

I 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. #duckduckgo

I’ve tried DuckDuckGo for years and it was never good enough to replace Google. I’m here to tell you that it’s no longer the case. It’s a superior experience without the tracking, AI, and boot-licking. I highly encourage you to make the switch. Set it up as the default search engine on your phone and computer. #duckduckgo #websearch
