I suspect that this is the direct result of AI generated content just overwhelming any real content.

I tried ddg, google, bing, quant, and none of them really help me find information I want these days.

Perplexity seems to work but I don’t like the idea of AI giving me “facts” since they are mostly based on other AI posts

ETA: someone suggested SearXNG and after using it a bit it seems to be much better compared to ddg and the rest.

    Fuck Duck Assist all my homies hate Duck Assist and I keep having to turn it back off again.

    Whoever made it should get cancer and not have their children show up or call them back.

      haha, whaaat why?

      I just saw it for the first time today, it seems to mostly quote incredible sources rather than amalgamating responses.

      you got some issues huh, poor fella?

        I’m sorry I hurt your feelings and made you want to defend an LLM that approves copy pasted wikipedia snippets, but maybe you should go eat some ass?

          “I’m sorry I hurt your feelings”

          I feel only pity for you.

          reading your comments is like watching a diseased guinea pig nibble on its own scabs.

          “an LLM that approves copy pasted wikipedia snippets”

          duckduckgo’s llm tool offers relevant information from credible sources.

          that is good.

          Good luck unbunching those panties.

              Too many big words for you?

              I’m sincerely glad they make you laugh.

                You literally tried to argue against the DDG CEO’s statement about how DuckAssist works lol

                  “You literally tried to argue against the DDG CEO’s statement about how DuckAssist works lol”

                  you clearly need help.

                  The statement you provided says exactly what I said in greater detail, that the duck duck Go llm verifies apparently factual statements with credible third-party sources, you are literally providing further evidence for my comments while proving yourself incorrect.

                  it is funny watching you proving yourself wrong, though, and you should keep doing it.

                  I hope you find another source that further supports what I’m saying while completely backfiring against your proud ignorance.
