Selling to consumers is charity at this point. They are such a tiny portion of the market. Consumer will lose always unless regulations step in.
Witg finite supply casual users will lose against people using computers to make money.
YouTube’s AI slop detector incorrectly targets Kurzgesagt as other creators fear same fate - Dexerto
Nah thats correct kurzgesagt is slop
Thats not what I'm arguing. I'm saying most people dont care enough either way and based off research and polling ive seen that most people do use the features. So if most people use them and only a tiny fraction wants them gone you should keep them default and give those people a toggle.
When I'm saying 175k out of 100m I'm pointing out that its a tiny % of the user base. The people who were engaged enough to vote in that poll were the anti AI people. It was posted to all the anti AI subreddits and twitter feeds. It was a big call to action to try and prove no one wants it.
Its obviously where search is heading which is why ddg mentions in their blogs that they are working heavily on AI features. They have always been receptive to users so unlike google so they do give users the option to disable. If they had data that most were disabling we'd see that be the default.
How do you know? Im sure 1% do
No search will ever give you the correct answer 100% of the time so I dont know why you'd draw such a dumb line in the sand.
I mean unless you dont use search engines, don't use libraries, don't talk to humans.
This stat is people who use llm chatbots for search. It excludes summaries. I think that had 60% saying they did read the summaries 10% saying not sure and rest saying they didnt.
Can someone articulate what is wrong with this? It intrinsically feels wrong to me, but when I think about it I dont really have any good reasoning why this would be bad.
We expect a standard price and it feels bad when we find out someone else got it cheaper.
But the consumer should be operating the same, they review the deal and if its a price they are willing to pay they go through with it.
People are intentionally going to LLM chatbots to search. This is not including viewing of AI summaries as AI search.
DDG provides both because its what users expect from a search engine now.
Maybe im to tech-brained but I dont think its a technical barrier. I think that they just dont care enough. One search of "how to remove AI from DDG" would bring it up but they never care about the issue enough to take that first step.
I sometimes observe this with my family members, who will complain "oh I dont like how it does X" and I say you can turn that off in the settings and then they dont. It was a minor complain they had but not an actual complain they wanted to solve.
Maybe DDG should do the firefox route of a popup to disable all AI for new users.
