90%? Could be selection bias. I think, the result would be a different one if users would have been asked to in the Google AI tab.

You need to fetch users from different places for your sample to get more meaningful results.

Wasn't this a poll to determine how DDG will use AI in the future? I don't believe it was meant to be representative of the general population.

The pessimistic in me says it's only a marketing campaign and they won't change anything.They made the poll be shared by people on both camps and got "We're great because we let you choose" as a response after answering.

In this regard it makes perfect sense. I guess it was just me who asked for the general population answer.
