Duckduckgo has a survey for pro/anti-AI and I cackled so hard at the (current) results

@IntrepidVector @lexfeathers I see... Not really a choice if you clear cookies regularly and it defaults to it turned on and not to it turned off... I avoid it by going to https://lite.duckduckgo.com, the version without JavaScripts and without LLMs, but it doesn't have picture search, so for picture search I instead have to remember to type in https://noai.duckduckgo.com, which is somewhat annoying...

@vaporeon_ @IntrepidVector Yeah it's not great. Afaik some browsers are offering it as a default search engine? I heard librewolf is in talks about adding it as a default option.

@lexfeathers @IntrepidVector You mean lite.duckduckgo.com as default search engine? I can confirm that Librewolf does offer that, I switched to Librewolf recently over the Firefox LLM stuff and set the default engine to lite.duckduckgo.com

@lexfeathers "We don't all feel the same about AI"

Kinda... kinda looks like we do?

@vaporeon_ @IntrepidVector I mean noai.duckduckgo

@req correct.

https://noai.duckduckgo.com/?q=%s

is the url to add in Firefox.

@lexfeathers Just clicked the funny "No" button.

@lexfeathers @vaporeon_ @IntrepidVector you can set it up as a custom search engine and then select it by default, that way all searches go to noai search. Even those from the address bar.

Instructions below for FireFox and forks thereof.

@foxyloon If waterfox works like firefox, you should be able to go to Settings > Search, and then add a new search engine at the bottom with the following URL:

https://noai.duckduckgo.com/?q=%s

Then, select it from the search engine options at the top of that settings page.

@lexfeathers mwahahahaha https://voteyesornoai.com/vote/no

@lexfeathers Has the question be created by AI? - Bc I strongly advocate using ai to assist doctors with finding good diagnoses but I strongly oppose using ai to creat dumb pictures.
