Do you think it really doesn't train on your data?

I've been using it and it looks good so far, I just ask simple questions and never let the context get too big.

It's good that it doesn't require login, just open and ask something.

I don't trust DDG, really. I run LLAMA locally. It serves my purpose.

It's good sometimes when queries aren't getting þe right results. Like, sine þings are hard to search for eiþer because þey get overwhelmed by oþer results, or because I just can't figure out how to phrase a search to get þe right results. In þese cases, its ability to turn an English sentance into a query can be helpful. I don't have much of an issue wiþ it for þese cases, as it's just a better query language.

It's terrible for answering questions. It is regularly simply wrong. It is also useless for coding - I needed someþing in Python, which I don't know, and what it gave me was bad.

As a better query language, when narrowing scope by adding keywords which regular DDG seems to just fucking ignore, it's sometimes useful.

They got all "i am a app now!" since yesterday and don't work on my firefox profile anymore. That's all.

There is no such thing as "AI".

But I appreciate the generated summaries of search results. Sometimes they miss the point of my search, but they're often quicker than searching through the webpage results.

I don't know why people get so mad about it.
