    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.

    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.

      It’s actually better than Google’s search results which are SEO spam

      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.
