It’s impressive how duckduckgo manages to be so much better than bing despite being a frontend for bing

      Hm. Let’s see what I get.

      And here’s another one for good measure:

      That’s true, but I think people still appreciate it… like it’s accurate enough, enough of the time, for people to find it helpful.

        That’s why it’s dangerous. If it were wrong 99% of the time people wouldn’t trust it. But being right most of the time risks people depending on it and acting on bad information which can have severe consequences.

          My point is, it seems like moat people disagree with you given that search providers put this stuff in their results.

            Most states charge a regressive sales tax. By your logic, the fact that people don’t refuse to pay sales tax at the register proves that people enjoy it!

              Nonsense. Your metaphor is not analogous.

              Sophisticated tech firms do extensive analysis with reference groups, A/B testing, et cetera.

              Guaranteed, they’ve found that they get better engagement with their product through these AI results.

              This might shock you but a group of 14 year olds complaining on Lemmy is not an indicative sample of opinions.

                I can’t roll my eyes harder, dude. Just drop it and move on. It’s okay to disagree with people and not try to fucking debate them about it.
