Tech companies, remember:
LET THEM TURN IT OFF
Everything not required for functionality should be optional! If you have to collect data to get money, then you’re not very good at making money!!!
You can totally turn it off in a couple clicks or leave it on if you want it. Other tech companies take note, this is how you do it.
Amazing. “[Company] spends lots of time and money on NEW! AMAZING! FUTURE! convenience of AI. [Company] also knows you hate it, will not force you to use it.”
DDG’s AI is actually pretty good. I’ve used it several times and it’s always helpful. But I like that they let you turn it off.
Honestly I find it quite useful, and I’m glad they found a way to do it with increased privacy. I will only use duck.ai if I want to use an AI tool.
But I can understand some people wanting it off entirely so hats off to DDG for keeping that as a core feature.
I really wish AI wasnt the “thing” we invented this decade and had invented something ACTUALLY useful and worthwile to society
AI has numerous applications in the Sciences, and is incredibly useful and worthwhile when it is applied correctly.
The problem is the majority of people are uneducated or under-educated, so useful things like AI get turned into toys to appease Grown Babies.
AlphaFold is joke to you ?
