Yes. They should pass on all the things you've doing to the data harvesting overlords. Why the hell wouldn't they?

but they claim to not to save the chat and that it won't be used for training

The issue is that they have no way of verifying that. We'd have to trust 2 other companies in addition to DDG.

they could've made it optional, then if someone wanted to, they could opt in. there are also open source models like llama and mistral which they can run on their own hardware. but that would probably be too expensive for DDG
