    You can at least turn off its built-in summaries. But some filtering to detect AI generated articles would be nice.

      Effectively I believe we are. During my MFA I realized we were simply copying as a form of craft. It's all we do in arts. Any great work feels like just one continuous story retold again and again.

      This is deeply cynical.

        I’ve been using DuckDuckGo for over a decade, the results are fine, and !bangs are extremely useful for piping queries directly to specific sites, !w for wikipedia, !aw for archwiki, etc. The Duck.ai function is a recent addition, and it can be easily disabled if you don’t want it. By default it doesn’t usually pop up by itself. You can also use lite.duckduckgo.com for a much leaner search and absolutely no AI.

            They are "journalism vegans". They are choosing to abstain from actual journalism for clickbaiting, herd mentality, and personal lack of skill reasons.

              Get out of here with your nuanced take. This is Lemmy, we hate AI it uses up 1bazinga gigalitres of water each time you look at it.

              Now excuse me while I go play some video games and search Google, those things use zero electricity.

                They use to mock us with “Luddite” but the Technologists looked into that actual movement (rather than the caricature) and agreed, “yeah sure, like them”. That took the sting out of the pejorative, so they picked another mocked group to connect it with.

                Maybe we should be more like the luddites, starting with data centers.

                    Why are you dissing on vegans? Veganism is legit, bro.

                          We let environmentalism become an individual issue, and that was a mistake. Can we not do this for AI? It's a society-wide problem, not something you can solve by measuring your own personal AI footprint.

                              No, I didn’t make it up. Although I rather wish I did, because it’s quite catchy, isn’t it?

                              No, it isn't, it's fucking stupid. The author was kind enough to link the source of that shitty idea, and the AI/vegan parallels are, per said article: ethical, environmental and wellness concerns.

                              Gee wiz, I sure never saw people with those 3 concerns in regards to anything other than veganism!!!

                              ITT: people really upset at being called 'vegan' for some reason.

                                You can ask it to turn off the summaries. It still shows them but you can ask.

                                      AI vegan is not a thing and shall never be.

                                      The correct term is Technophile. Anyone obsessed with tech would never hand it off to a third party to do when they can go through the joy of learning themselves.
