A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I was wondering about this. AI info on every search seems ridiculous

Another reason to avoid Google. Try Startpage, Duckduckgo or another search engine.

So I had never tried duckduckgo until just now and it seems they recently added ai summaries, too, lol. Dang it. I'll try start page in a sec

Edit: start page seems good. They do have blurbs but they're from Wikipedia and don't seem to be ai related
