You can totally turn it off in a couple clicks or leave it on if you want it. Other tech companies take note, this is how you do it.
DDG’s AI is actually pretty good. I’ve used it several times and it’s always helpful. But I like that they let you turn it off.
Honestly I find it quite useful, and I’m glad they found a way to do it with increased privacy. I will only use duck.ai if I want to use an AI tool.
But I can understand some people wanting it off entirely so hats off to DDG for keeping that as a core feature.
Amazing. “[Company] spends lots of time and money on NEW! AMAZING! FUTURE! convenience of AI. [Company] also knows you hate it, will not force you to use it.”
If i can disabled it out of the way and it’s all good. I dont really care but others might. Better to have an options than none at all.
Now if they would just develop a Linux client for their Pro services
It’s really good, at least for my use cases. It’s one of the best ways I found to use AI and still have some privacy. People who want to remove it probably think it’s an always on thing, it’s not. If you don’t want it, don’t use it.
I really wish AI wasnt the “thing” we invented this decade and had invented something ACTUALLY useful and worthwile to society
It’s actually better than Google’s search results which are SEO spam
That is true
AI has numerous applications in the Sciences, and is incredibly useful and worthwhile when it is applied correctly.
The problem is the majority of people are uneducated or under-educated, so useful things like AI get turned into toys to appease Grown Babies.
