    Well I guess it’s true that AI tells us what we want to hear…

    Also did Duck Duck Go go stupid AI… I thought that literally was the search engine for people who are sick of googles BS.

      It’s toggeable. You can switch off all LLM stuff with a button.

        That doesn’t change the fact that they decided to be part of the problem.

    Imagine Trump getting rabies, the story leaks, he denies it and all his cronies around him back up the lie, right up until he turns rabid and starts biting and attacking them. Would be a fitting ending for him.

      Only if it gets caught on video.

      However it finally happens I want it to either be during a public event or caught in good quality.

      That video (if gory enough) could cure cancer. I usually hate got, but I would stare at that video for hours.

    As funny as this is (and I do find it funny), it’s also concerning on a wider level. A good number of people trust these AI summaries; they shouldn’t, but they do. And if it’s this easy to poison the AIs, imagine how easy it is for someone with an actual agenda to mislead people in ways that aren’t as fantastical and quickly spotted.

    I seem to recall reading recently that a court in Germany wanted to hold Google accountable for the content of its AI summaries. (Someone correct me if I’m wrong, please.) If companies are going to shove these models in people’s faces they should absolutely be responsible for the results. If your model can’t tell fact from fiction, stop publishing - and promoting - it as fact.

      And DuckDuckGo AI is exceptionally bad. Like, other AI is bad too, but DuckDuckGo’s version is even behind the pack.
