If you think people deeply hate AI as you seem to do, maybe you should take your own advice, because the humans I talk with in a daily basis on my job are completely ok with it.

lol

This isn’t really about the invisible hand of the market, I was talking about a single company. It costs money to keep those models up, which DDG itself hosts. If we were taking about Google, for example, then I could see the argument since it is a monopoly and my line of reasoning wouldn’t work.

I’m not trying to be troll as you accuse, I’m just trying to think from different perspectives and have something less sensitive to ideology.

We don’t find out the truth by agreeing with everything that panders to our beliefs.

Ok, if people hate AI so much, you’ll see it being gone soon. No company would want to spend money keeping an useless feature, principally DDG, which is no monopoly.

Also, that poll is about Americans, I don’t give a shit what Americans think.

If enough people were that bothered about a box with an AI overview, it wouldn’t be there. Simple as that. The thing is that the overview turns out to be helpful in some cases, despite what the haters think.

I’d say most people don’t really care

Why would gay couples want to be blessed by a religion that actively demonizes them?
