I have used ddg for many years. But I think the search results were too irrelevant to me most of the time now I have moved on
That was because Bing wasn't as good as Google, but now they're kinda even... because Google became much worse.

#12DDG reminds me of what Google used to be. Hopefully they stay that way.

#13Yesterday's discussion around Kagi[0] prompted me to poke through some settings there, as it had been a while. They've also added a "Exclude AI generated images" which they describe as "Best-effort removal of AI generated images from search results"

#14While I like the effort, I can imagine the amount of false-positive images that this will flag, but still, better than nothing.

#15I recently opened Pinterest after a year or so, and did look for some nice architecture / houses, and all results had the tag 'AI enhanced'. No I don't want AI houses, I want to see real architecture! Even though the tags are there, you can't filter on 'No AI'. So I stopped using it again.
I never understood Pinterest and how it works, but I know that people who DO understand and use Pinterest are basically saying that it’s been completely ruined by AI images.

#16Dear DDG, I genuinely, truly appreciate an AI filter on images.
But for the love of Bob, would you please enable absolute operands ("" or +) in image searching? It's been on your todo list for over a decade.

#17Helpful, but even more so would be a way to filter out AI content farms. It's getting to the point where I won't go to a site if I don't recognize its domain from the pre-GPT-3 era. Maybe domain age should be the filter. Not perfect, but no solution will be.
The amount of medical advice on those LLM content farms is very concerning, someone is going to get hurt eventually. I recently made a user script that tries to highlight LLM generated text and sometimes when I search things more than half the results are garbage and the entire articles (including the bios of the supposed professionals who write the articles!) get highlighted purple. One way to avoid them in a pinch when the content isn't time sensitive is to filter out anything from after November 1st 2021, but it's not ideal. I hope duck duck go finds a way to filter the AI pages out.

I still have no desire to use it, but reading the complaints and explanations of AI wrecking Pinterest has finally given me some understanding of what people do there and why they bother.

It seems most sites that allow user generated content, and allow images/video, have been ruined by AI.
Before long we’ll need a second internet just for real people, as this internet will just be all bots and AI content. Dead internet indeed.
Or better yet, maybe I can get some real hobbies outside of tech.

#20Jefit is my favorite app out of all I've tried. It's intuitive, let me create my CoolCicadaPPL workouts by day and automatically keeps track of my progress. When I'm working out after logging a set, it starts my rest timer, then loudly beeps when it's time to start the next set. The UI refresh was excellent.
