Yeah. I'm actually kind of upset that I have to type 'noai'. That should be the standard.

I hope they learn their lesson from their own poll.

I mean, the poll was like as not a publicity stunt, to draw attention to the fact DDG is not doing AI. All the same, the fact they are making "no AI" a selling point is noteworthy.

EDIT: I stand corrected -- apparently DDG does do AI presently. Hopefully they're serious about reconsidering that, then.

… the fact DDG is not doing AI.

They are, unless you opt out.

Thanks for the correction! I updated my comment to mention it.
