minus-squareUnpopularCrow@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up56·3 months agoSomewhat ironic given that DuckDuckGo has AI on by default. You have to either save the settings on the cloud or manually turn off AI when searching using DuckDuckGo. Still a good privacy search engine though.

minus-squareUnpopularCrow@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up29·3 months agoGood to know! But the out of the box version of DuckDuckGo.com does have AI on by default. I think it should be off by default.
minus-squareNewNewAugustEast@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·edit-23 months agoWait, it has a quick blurb on by default but actually interacting with it requires an opt in. That seems like a good balance. In fact doing a search now (duck is my default) it doesn’t even offer an ai answer unless I click it first.
