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?
Click the thumbs down on the question "Was this helpful?" under the generated short and Select "Dislike AI". Maybe if enough do they will at least not turn it on by default!? I doubt it, but...
@ideaferace True, I'll have to try that one again. Thanks for reminding me about it!
@forteller @ideaferace I’ve been using quant for a while now and it’s fine I guess. I am having very little luck with any search engine nowadays what with the internet being flooded with slop…
@jpkolsen @forteller @ideaferace I'm also using #Qwant. It's ok, but it's really annoying that the ads blend in with the real search results, and there's not an option to pay to remove them.
#Startpage looks ok, but as I understand it is using american search engines and partly owned by american companies.
I consider trying out https://good-search.org. Costs a small amount each month, and is using results from the #Brave search engine. Not sure if that's good or bad.
@forteller I’ve been enjoying Kagi for the past year.
They’re not perfect either, they are exploring some LLM features I don’t want, but they’re optional and disable-able. Which is good enough for me for now.
@philip @forteller big thing for me is that it's opt in
@forteller Ecosia! If you want privacy, then maybe StartPage. If you want to be free of Microsoft and Google, then Mojeek
