Personally, I prefer Crusader Kings

If you’re using the LLM generated results you need to stop. They’re going away or becoming subscription services soon anyway and all we’re doing now is harm.
Disclaimer: I am also guilty of this and trying to cut it out slowly.

Don’t worry, I’m not. I just keep forgetting to put in the noai part of the address
garbagebagel@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
You can also change your settings to remove ai and it should remember them for the device.
Helios_Huxley@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
No there will be always free tier of LLM’s. For data collection, advertising, improving model output etc. Maybe they will reduce the free quata but i don’t think they completly remove it. Ohh sorry you are talking about search engine’s LLM results. Okey they may go.

Why are you using any AI for search results? Just turn it off and use DDG as a normal search engine. Problem solved.

Why are you using any AI for search results?
Not by choice. I just can’t be bothered to type in the noai address every time my ADHD brain gets a sudden thought and wants to look something up
use DDG as a normal search engine
That’s what I’m already doing 🤷🏻
Problem solved.
I never said I had a problem 😁

If you’re on Firefox you can just manually add
https://noai.duckduckgo.com/?q=%25sas a search engine and use it from the URL bar.
restingOface@quokk.au 3 weeks ago
Set the noai address as your default search engine 🤷

Well, in my experience, at least is still better than Gemini.
I can’t believe that Google of all companies in the AI space have created the most dog shit AI.
real_squids@sopuli.xyz 3 weeks ago
the most dog shit AI.
For you. I bet it’s useful for their cash flow, not accounting the dev cost.
abbiistabbii@piefed.blahaj.zone 3 weeks ago
The fact that every single search query is fed through Gemini has made Google worse than its competitors, ergo, Dog shit.

Not only was it wrong, it even missed Canada being a double secret non-existent “associate member” of EU.
Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 weeks ago
Canada has had and currently has a prime minister, though 🤷🏻
Fishy@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Wish they’d just scrap it. Makes me want to migrate to qwant (despite disliking their lack of bang syntax)

Fishy@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Thanks. But they enshitified their main product enough that an opt out is worse than going to up and coming European alternatives. The future lies there for me.
yesman@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
To be fair, Canada is looking to “join” the EU, Turkey is already a member. What is Europe anyway?
Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 weeks ago
And both Australia and the West’s favorite fascist apartheid state participate in the Eurovision Song Contest (Becau$e).
What is Europe anyway?
A Swedish band from the 80s, their big hit was The Final Countdown

Turkey is not an EU member and stands no chance until they get rid of Erdogan.
SpruceBringsteen@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Their normal search is now near useless as well.
Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 weeks ago
Nah, that’s Google you’re thinking of.
DDG isn’t GOOD, but it’s almost always good enough to eventually find what I need. Unlike Google, which is just ads and other useless results now.
beegnyoshi@lemmy.zip 3 weeks ago
Mmm I’m sorry but I’m going to have to disagree. Google’s results are still better than ddg, which sources them from bing. In my experience, it is even more susceptible to SEO spam than google, even though both are pretty bad.
To me, search engines with interesting results are more stuff like marginalia and mojeek, but those are niche and not really for most people. They also have a tendency to give results that have nothing to do with the query, which is sad :(
NaibofTabr@infosec.pub 3 weeks ago
I’m pretty sure this is because Bing is the index source for general searching: duckduckgo.com/duckduckgo-help-pages/…/sources

Oh, no, all the continent is now EU associate member.
Gringoland should now join BRICS.

Doesn’t the president of Mexico have a menstrual position?
Also the president of the USA has a fecal position right?
Oh, right, neither are in Europe, my bad…

So where are all the haters who moved over to the Quack search engine because Google was forcing AI on them, now?
Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 weeks ago
Still not using Google, which is still closer to COMPLETELY useless than it is to being good.
real_squids@sopuli.xyz 3 weeks ago
I never liked it, and google tricks have been broken for a while. My browser came with startpage by default, seems alright for now. Thankfully I don’t need a search engine that often
Verdorrterpunkt@feddit.org 2 weeks ago
Reasonably sure my translation is correct, and switzerland has a “prime minister”, but that role foes not actually do more than be the head secretary for the Executive council.

Move over, flat-Earthers, the time has finally come for the giant Europe conspiracy theory.
Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 weeks ago
Basically, Botswana and New Zealand are the only countries NOT in Europe, and in the case of the latter it’s because it doesn’t actually exist.
GregorGizeh@lemmy.zip 3 weeks ago
Contemporary Zealand?
betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
We’re going to get on so many podcasts.
marcos@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
They always insist Old Zealand was replaced in the 19th Century; don’t believe it people!
NaibofTabr@infosec.pub 3 weeks ago
Middle Zealanders rise up!

I mean, Europeans colonized the Americas, so…

Europe is at right angles to the flat Earth, which is why we have shadows.
