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

tbf it seems to be a common issue with search engines atm. brave also has the stupid ai response topmost, and startpage without adblock pushes in so many sponsored results that you need to scroll to get to anything else

I feel like most commenters here would think "no one wants the stupid ai response", but obviously some people like it or they wouldn't do it. I think if your searches are more general kind of "can I catch chicken pox from chickens" type questions it might be helpful ?

Except AI is famously unreliable with the accuracy of its answers.

AI: to catch chicken pox from chickens rub live chicken on face

Hm. Let's see what I get.

And here's another one for good measure:

[-] fine_sandy_bottom@discuss.tchncs.de -3 points 2 months ago

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.

[-] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

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.

[-] fine_sandy_bottom@discuss.tchncs.de -2 points 2 months ago

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

[-] chiliedogg@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

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!

[-] fine_sandy_bottom@discuss.tchncs.de -1 points 2 months ago

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.

... and yet here we are ?
