  I mean, if I have to read the slop, I’ll still need to read Wikipedia to verify the accuracy. Just take me to the real info.

    I love how Wikipedia has now become the source of accurate information. Such a strange timeline.

      I think it was before 2010, I saw an article that said Wikipedia was already more accurate than traditional encyclopedias.

      It pretty much always was?

      It’s a tertiary source, so not appropriate for citing in your essays, but that isn’t a comment on the accuracy.

      I mean, you have an unlimited amount of contributors from academic and hyper-fixated autistic backgrounds, so at some point it has to be accurate from just the massive number of eyes looking over it

      Wikipedia isn’t a source, but Wikipedia’s source might be worth checking. Any line on Wikipedia that doesn’t have a citation is as good as making it up yourself, and some of their citations aren’t much better.

      But checking sources am is hard, so just make shit up and feign superiority like John Internet intended when he made the internet.

  Polite reminder that it is possible to change the search engines your browser uses. I recommend Mozilla Firefox with No AI DuckDuckGo. I want to write down tips, because this was not so easy for me the first time I did it…

  So anyone can do this by following these steps;

  1. Click the three vertical stripes and go to "Settings"
  2. Click "Search"
  3. Scroll until you see "Additional search engines"
  4. Click the "+ Add search engine"
  5. Write down a name and add this link in the URL bar = https://noai.duckduckgo.com/?q=%25s
  6. Add the engine
  7. Go back up to “Default search engine” and change it to the one you just created
  8. Enjoy slightly better internet (optional)

    on a computer, you can just go to the web site…

    noai.duckduckgo.com

    right-click in the search box on the page itself and ‘add search engine’.

    then if you want it to be the default, hop into settings, go to search settings and change it.

      Huh, cool! Maybe I’ll remember this the next time… Maybe a bit faster.

    Ironically I switched off of ddg to brave search because I wanted to block more than 5 AI embracing websites. I haven’t yet tested it thoroughly yet because AI overviews were quite helpful the last month for syntax questions and that were all my searches, but now I want (and am able) to test brave search without AI and with weights to curate my search.

    noai.duckduckgo.com also comes as default option in Angelfish, mobile Linux browser by KDE.

    Mobile Linux is cool!

  In Google search you can append -ai to only return links. Like the Google of the golden age. Real links.

  source

  • Zachariah@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    Or just skip Google altogether:
    noai.duckduckgo.com

      I have them set as feedback search engine, I used to add !g when I couldn’t find an answer.

      I noticed that for some time Google doesn’t provide any better answers. If DDG doesn’t help neither will Google. I still do it out of habit sometimes though with the hope this time will be different.

    Unfortunately, a lot of the links I turn up are usually AI-written anyway

    Use an LLM to do essentially do what google used to do before it was shitty but while using 10 times (probably more) the resources. Fucking pathetic. I think old people, the ones who built internet have the right to be ashamed of the next gen. We are absolutely pathetic.

    • LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      Google is still run by the same people. With Sergey mostly working with AI focused shit I thought. So you are just telling him to be ashamed of himself.

    • Holytimes@sh.itjust.works ⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      I actually find it funny that using a llm with the insurrections to not summarize anything results in better search then just using Google even with the -ai tag.

  Especially when you can see its wrong or that its sourcing information from what a deleted account said on a reddit post

  Casual reminder that search engines integrating Wikipedia was just before they integrated quick answers, and then full-on AI answers, too.

  Ironically, Wikipedia has been exactly where it started. So, if you truly want to follow God’s ways, click the actual links to various sites and read them through. This is the peak search engine experience.

  (All love to Wikipedia, it’s a nice source)

  goes to Google

  searches Google

  gets the results from Google

  becomes angry at the results in Google

  Why do you not simply go to Wikipedia and search directly on Wikipedia?

  AI often gives unnecessarily verbose definitions of words. if it can’t handle that small task, then what else is it failing at?

  Everything in the world requires more than just pattern recognition unless you want the worst possible experience.

  The current incarnation of AI is just like a super neurodivergent person. Not sure what we need it for other than to take over jobs. But I’m sure it’ll go sentient any day now lol.

  The weird thing about AI is that if some computer was a god and had all of human knowledge and history yet could think like a human, wouldn’t its first order of business be to not destroy humanity as a whole but the wealthy?

  Even a high school dropout can figure out that Mexican laborers are more essential than [name of billionaire.]

  That is true for me. I enjoy using my brain and I love to read. Ai summaries are like when kids would read the cliff notes instead of the book.

  The use startpage instead of google

  source

  • BrickEater@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    start page has started verifying every search I make and it takes like a solid 30+ seconds, starting to get annoyed with it.

    source

    • EmpathicVagrant@lemmy.world ⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      Verifying a search list means it’s being run through the LLM, doesn’t it?
