#ALERT

Do NOT Use #DuckDuckGo #AI search for any research more recent than October 2023. It does not inform you of its limitation in search results. DDG results are AT BEST inaccurate; they are destructive & misleading. I suspect this to be true elsewhere as well. Caveat Emptor!!

@marginalia Like, with one single exception, my results for "adhd bullet journal" on #DuckDuckGo and #Google were all super verbose lengthy AI-generated nonsense advice that ultimately said nothing of substance.

And that exception is also just due to someone owning the domain "bulletjournal" verbatim.

#Marginalia for me used to be just a fun toy or tech experiment, but now it's genuinely the only way I could possibly find information on some topics, even if I didn't want to. Crazy.

In your experience, which of these breaks apps/websites the most? (For example, the app freezes or crashes.)

A wiecie, że wchodząc na https://duck.ai, możecie pogadać z LLM-ami (w tym z europejskim Mistralem), nie sprzedając diabłu swoich danych, bez logowania i w ogóle?

Je viens de découvrir que DuckDuckGo a une IA active par défaut.
Pour s'en débarrasser, "modifier les paramètres de recherche" par la roue, aller en bas à "Fonctionnalités de l'IA", "gérer".

Duck Duck Go is garbage, I’ve tried to stick with it, but I really need something better. Ugh. Not going to use G, tho.

@cibersheep

Crec que és problema de duckduckgo. No deu indexar correctament o totalment les pàgines en català.
Jo tinc el mateix resultat.

I disabled #AI assist on #DuckDuckGo, but even when I do, I still get a bunch of search results that point me to 100% AI-generated web pages. Nowadays anyone can just fuzz search engines like #Google for lists of commonly searched queries, then generate slop responses to these queries, then cache the slop, and then use shady SEO techniques to get these slop pages to show up at the top of search results. And this is what I have been getting from a lot of my web searches lately, content from slop shops.

A part of me thinks companies like Google, Microsoft, and Amazon may themselves be investing in these shady slop shops to deliberately make traditional search engines useless, which would “incentivize” people to use #LLM -based AI like Gemini or #ChatGPT more often, though that is purely speculation on my part.

If you had asked my 20 years ago that the #Internet of the future would rapidly devolve and become increasingly useless as time went on, I would have dismissed you as a paranoid crackpot. Here we are in the future and I still can hardly believe how shitty technology is becoming.

[Перевод] Я больше не доверяю Google Search, но каковы альтернативы?

Довольно актуальная тема, согласитесь? Ощущение, что разные приложения, которым ты когда-то доверял, просто перестали адекватно работать. Примером того может быть ваш Nest Hub Max, который способен ответить разве что на самые базовые запросы , хоть и использует передовую модель Gemini от Google. Или же различные социальные сети типа Instagram, Facebook и Twitter — которые раньше заполняли вашу ленту постами друзей и близких, а теперь впихивают в неё «рекомендации», рекламу и сгенерированный ИИ шлак. Сложно сказать, стал ли причиной этого ощущения главный продукт Google. Обсуждения на тему ухудшения их поисковой системы звучат по всему интернету — даже сейчас вы тому свидетель — но насколько серьёзны все эти претензии? Достаточно ли их, чтобы вынудить человека перейти на другую платформу? Готов с уверенностью сказать, что да. Google Search стал настолько ужасен, настолько засорился неточной информацией и стал выдавать ошибочные результаты, что доверять ему в качестве основного механизма поиска я больше не могу.

C'est moi ou bien on ne peut plus ajouter de moteur de recherche sur Firefox ? Je n'ai pas le bouton <Add> j'ai que <Remove>. Sur Librewolf il y est bien pourtant.

Edit : Oh et Google ne peut plus être retirer alors que Bing et DuckDuckGo si !!

Someone has decorated my local post box with #GooglyEyes. Are we still allowed to call them googly eyes or will the search police insist that we call them #DuckDuckGo-y eyes? #postcrossing

dear #DuckDuckGo or other search engine: I want a little button next to every #search result that lets me exclude it from all search results for me, personally, forever. With an option to block the entire domain.

I'm definitely looking at #pinterest but there's just a lot of #AI slop out there. Tons of AI-generated websites. Even without the AI search "helper" things, I get a lot of shit that is just really low quality.

I don't think I see this witih DDG (there is a "give feedback" button with unclear effects on my personal search experience) and I'm not familiar with many other search engines now (except google and no). But if there's something out there that already has this functionality, I'll be happy to check it out and happy for the referral.

@n_dimension

I would submit that it depends on the use case.

For example duckduckgo https://ddg.gg has LLMs that are grand at spouting out a terminal command, with explanations, for whatever you've forgotten how to do on whichever Linux distro you've forgotten how to use. I mean, if adequate is all one cares for, superlative doesn't really add much, I would say.
