AI is just quiet quitting now?

Hahahaha.

Just of PSA, duck duck go has a no ai url:

https://noai.duckduckgo.com/

Easy solution: don't use google. I suggest to use one of those: DuckDuckGo, Ecosia or Searx.be.

DuckDuckgo also allow you to hide some AI images

This is why it's absolutely ridiculous that Google automatically has AI answer search queries. One time I searched the serial number of a washing machine and the AI came back and said something along the lines of, this looks like a serial number for some sort of product. Yeah thanks for that.

I don't necessarily have a problem with AI although I think it's going to kill the economy, my biggest issue is AI being stuffed into everything in situations where it doesn't make sense.

Thanks for sharing. I use a metasearch engine so I don't have to see it. Unfortunately that doesn't make a big difference in the broader picture. For most users this is the default experience. Slop at the top, then advertisements and only then what a search engine is supposed to return. And those burnt CPU cycles will be forced upon them. And I guess that's pretty much normalized by now. Probably also the reason why Google does it in the first place.

how the fuck is a generally aware company as google that they are poisoning their own userbase against it?

I have yet to meet anyone that wants gemeni in their browser or os.

Click on the first search result: "Thanks for visiting our page, try our new AI chatbot to help you make the best restaurant choices!" 🤣

We need to bring yellow pages back.

Can't wait until we burn an entire rainforest running a clanker that gets into a "let me google that for you" infinite loop.

This is dangerously close to: "here, let me google that for you." As if this brand of AI wasn't ouroboros-like enough.

Ingested too much stack overflow did we?

Should have also included an lmgtfy link of the query.

There's this userscript to fix that.

How do I Google? Nevermind, I will just Google it.

We should go on websites they scrape data and put much much more replies like this one.

If had to answer all the questions, better believe I'd be phoning in a bunch of them now and then, lol.

Off topic but: Battery 11%... very anxiety-inducing

Until google removes it inane ai shit, I'm not using it except under absolute necessity. Even then I cannot trust its results like I used to

Why do you all still have that shit even turned on?
