DuckDuckGo image search for morse code chart, showing the erroneous chart as the top result.

Click the … then “Flag AI Image”.

Yep, or if you have cookies enabled for duckduckgo.com just disable it in the settings.
pressing that button feels so good
I’m sending out an S5S
Message in a bottle
just a castaway, an island lost at sea, oh
Ah yes, the classic SOS … .. …
Holy slop
Turn off ai mode and report ai images when you see them can help
0 is an extra long T
I thought it was an L
Of course the Americans have their own Morse code. Why wouldn’t the Americans have their own Morse code?
…because inventor Samuel Morse was american? Or is this a whoosh moment… I feel like I’m missing something…
This is different from the International Morse Code which the rest of the world uses. I actually didn’t even know about the American version up to now.
Freedom Code!
Is this loss?
Pretty sure that’s a full on genocide if it is.
dawg
Great, i always struggled playing YYZ, but the new version of “… … …” makes it so much more manageable
The new version would be: “… … … … .”
Which is a pretty tough rhythm if you treat each space as an eighth note rest and each dot as an eighth note
At least 6 makes sense
how do you send a capital dot?
By pressing harder.
Looks like the only error is 7 missing a couple of dashes. Otherwise, the chart lines up with Wikipedia.
As a non-American, I should be unsurprised I’m more familiar with International Morse Code.
Problems in this image
I learned the Vail/Morse thing from a Jon Bois video. His videos have taught me a lot of things, some useful, most trivial, but all stuff.
I learned it on QI
I don’t see an ad in there but even so, why quibble on a dead man’s behalf that the communication method is called Vail’s cipher and not Morse code. It’s like taking up arms whenever a guillotine is mentioned.
I don’t see an ad in there
Every result is for the same scammy looking site.

Most important error is that you have AI results set to show instead of hide.
Nindelofocho@lemmy.world 16 hours ago
This would still show up even if it was set to hide though right? This is an image result on a third party site. Imo its worse because theres no disclosure that its even AI

DDG’s description of that feature:
I run Firefox on Linux Mint with uBlockOrigin and uMatrix addons (with modified settings) so I can’t speak to the universality of my results, but it seems like DDG is pretty loose with how it categorizes and displays info.
With AI images set to hide on first search for “morse code chart” I get the following: Hide
Toggling the AI image setting to show instantly changes the results and displays these: Show (instant)
Without additional changes, just clicking the search button again slightly changes the results: show (re-search)
Toggling the AI image setting back to hide again instantly changes the results to: Hide (instant)
Re-running the search as is returns the same results as #1.
I’ve also previously had horrible luck getting the date filters to work when trying to use a bookmarklet style shortcut to add the dates as parameters in the address bar (they’re just completely ignored when a search is run that way for me), and as of ~2 days ago the date range just didn’t seem to work at all. I was trying to find a human authored post/article about the difference between opossums and possums and using a date range of 1950–2015 was still ONLY returning results post-2023 and they were all wordy slop.

huh? these are image results on duckduckgo, why wouldn’t the duckduckgo “hide ai images” option work?
snooggums@piefed.world 7 hours ago
It is a symptom of how slop is overwhelming actual results, because regular sites that use AI to ‘save costs’ will just perpetuate the slop and when 99% of results are slop then it doesn’t matter what your settings are.

When the AI bubble collapses there’s gonna be a big market for companies that can extract data that hasn’t been polluted by AI

What’s the default?
DABDA@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 hours ago
I don’t know offhand but I strongly suspect everything related to AI is defaulted to on.
