I believe my reaction to seeing AI junk turned on by default was, “Not you, too!”
It will be a sad day when I have to jump to something else to escape it.

I’ve been using DuckDuckGo exclusively for several years now.
I believe my reaction to seeing AI junk turned on by default was, “Not you, too!”

I use DDG and I have never seen any AI elements enabled by default. What are you seeing?
You see it on the search results page. Click the gear icon to go into settings and there is a link at the bottom to “manage” AI settings. For me, everything is turned on by default, but it may not have rolled out to everyone yet.
It’s a tool, like a hammer or a clock or a glockenspiel, that can be used for good, neutral, or bad goals.
Unfortunately most AIs are developed, trained, and administrated by authoritarian structured capitalist corpos that are designed to require maximizing profit and minimizing cost instead of meeting humanity’s common needs and goals.
Of course most of us talk about the industry, not the technology. Which is to say, you could talk about the tool, but most people aren’t.
If you’re into computer graphics, you may also like her video about Splines. She does not a lot of videos, but they are very qualitative
Does she reticulate the splines?
I wonder why they developed it in the first place if it was going to be this bad. Why does innovation necessarily (through game theory) have to lead to races to the bottom?

Watching somebody rant about disliking AI for an hour and a half is not my idea of a good time, but you do you.

Good thing nobody forced you to watch or interact with this at all

Weird, nobody forced you to interact with me either but you did. It’s almost as if you don’t have to be happy about something to interact with it! WHOA!
