Not because DDG got better, but just because google got worse.

google is still better for site-specific searches, and google scholar still has minimal AI slop

I can turn off the horseshit firehose that we call AI, making it far better than google

Ironically I find ChatGPT pretty good for certain types of searching.

For me, its only finding stuff thats really hard to google, like concepts or meme templates.

ChatGPT is great for when what you're looking for is the proper search term.
If I don't know what term to google, I can describe what I'm looking for and then nudge the bot in the right direction till it spits out the term.
