This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
As much as I agree with this poll, duck duck go is a very self selecting audience. The number doesn’t actually mean much statistically.
If the general public knew that “AI” is much closer to predictive text than intelligence they might be more wary of it
There was no implication that this was a general poll designed to demonstrate the general public’s attitudes. I’m not sure why you mentioned this.
I mean you Gotta Hand it to "Ai" - it is very sophisticated, and Ressource intensive predicitive Text.
The other 10% are bots
Most objective article (sarcasm)
In fact it has a whole-ass “AI” chatbot product, Duck.ai, which is bundled in with DuckDuckGo’s privacy VPN for $10 a month
What's wrong about this?
Oh, I meet you again. I haven't logged in for a long time 😅
I think most people find something like chatgpt and copilot useful in their day to day lives. LLMs are a very helpful and powerful technology. However, most people are against these models collecting every piece of data imaginable from you. People are against the tech, they're against the people running the tech.
I don't think most people would mind if a FOSS LLM, that's designed with privacy and complete user control over their data, was integrated with an option to completely opt out. I think that's the only way to get people to trust this tech again and be onboard.
If I understand right, the usefulness of basic questions like "Hey ChatGPT, how long do I boil pasta" is offset by the vast resources needed to answer that question. We just see it as simple and convenient as it tries to invest in its "build up interest" phase and runs at a loss. If the effort to sell the product that way fails, it's going to fund itself by harvesting data.
I'm enjoying how ludicrous the idea of a "privacy friendly AI" is- trained on stolen data from inhaling everyone else's data from the internet, but cares suddenly about "your" data.
We can say maybe a personal LLM trained on data that you actually already own and having the infrastructure being self efficient sure but visual generation llms and data theft isn’t cool
Amen brother (or sister)
I think you're wildly overestimating how much people care about their personal data.
I think you may find yourself in the minority.
Most people against Ai probably have their nose in SearXNG and 4get.
I find Google Gemini to be useless and annoying. I do enjoy grok but I don't think life would end if we walked away from Ai tomorrow.
I would like to petition to rename AI to
Simulated
Human
Intelligence
Technology
or: computer rendered anonymized plagiarism
It's funny but it still lies about intelligence
'Intelligence' is a measure, not an absolute. Human intelligence can range anywhere from genius to troglodyte. But you're right, still not human, still at very best simulated, and isn't capable of reason, just the illusion of reason.
I would like to petition to rename AI to
Fucking stupid and useless
FSAU? That's not a word.
I guess they haven’t asked me or it’d be 91%
You've been learning statistics from an LLM, haven't you?
This guy knows the SHIT out of statistics!
Okay, so that’s not what the article says. It says that 90% of respondents don’t want AI search.
Moreover, the article goes into detail about how DuckDuckGo is still going to implement AI anyway.
Seriously, titles in subs like this need better moderation.
The title was clearly engineered to generate clicks and drive engagement. That is not how journalism should function.
That is the title from the news article. It might not be how good journalism would work, but copying the title of the source is pretty standard in most news aggregator communities.
Unless I'm mistaken this title is generated to match the title at the link. Are you saying the mods should update titles to accurately reflect the content of the articles posted?
Also, Duck Duck Go is a search engine. What other ai would it do?
