@pixx@merveilles.town @Orb2069@mastodon.online @lexfeathers@tenforward.social whoops, I actually meant to reply to Orb and replied to your reply - but you raise a good point. I definitely think the sample is biased, probably toward fedi users (for anecdotal evidence, I use DDG as my primary search engine at work and for personal use, and I never saw *anything* about this via DDG). But even assuming this sample set is primarily DDG users (not just DDG-fedi users) it's inherently biased, because someone going to the effort of switching to a non-default search engine is probably in the top 10 or 5 percent of computer users by skill level, and therefore more likely to be concerned about their privacy or cognizant of the ethical and environmental issues around LLM usage.
