#DuckDuckGo wants to know if you want to have a choice about #AI.
The public vote on Al is officially live. Where do you stand?

@alexblock This isn't a vote. It is an ad. They are advertising that on DuckDuckGo you can turn the AI summaries on or off. They aren't going to get rid of it entirely no matter how people vote.

@alexblock @cwebber it's just a ploy to get you to use their other duck duck go site that doesn't shove the ai in your face, but it also lacks functionality. I had to tweak a lot of behind the scenes settings to make ddg minimally functional, but sadly it's still the best choice due to capitalist enshittification of all.
