DuckDuckGo is serving AI garbage now
(hexbear.net)
The Enshittification continues. Slightly better than Google because you can at least turn it off, but still on by default! Turn that shit off if you use DDG!
The AI chat is helpful though
please demonstrate a case where this has been useful to you
I asked it the difference between soy sauce and tamari and it told me.
oooh tamari
so like, could you have answered that question without spinning up a 200W gpu somewhere to do the llm "inference"?
literally just google "wikipedia tamari"
and essentially all it's doing is plagiarizing a dozen other answers from various websites.
tamarind the fruit or tamarin the genus?
and what part of that required an AI?
I never said it did. It was just faster than searching through multiple search results and reading through multiple paragraphs.
How did you know the answer was correct?
How do you know any information is correct?
Do you really not see why I asked my rhetorical question or do you just want to bicker?
I wasn't bickering. You're the one trying to argue. It sounds like you're implying that information from AI is inherently incorrect which simply isn't true.
First, at the risk of being a pedant, bickering and arguing are distinct activities. Second, I didn't imply llm's results are inherently incorrect. However, it is undeniable that they sometimes make shit up. Thus without other information from a more trustworthy source, an LLM's outputs can't be trusted.
