    Is this from the “poll” where you could click “Yes AI” or “No AI” without any further context or explanation on what the question even implies. Yes the marketing stunt works but that’s not a poll one should cite.

    Don’t get me wrong, I really don’t want AI slop in my results but this “poll” is just marketing.

      Yes! It’s completely silly. A ‘poll’ designed exactly for the people that want a noai option, to be shared in places like this so those people (like me) can get the tiny satisfaction of hitting No.

      They were never wondering what the result would be, they were never trying to gauge their userbase’s preferences. It’s just a page they thought people would share to spread awareness of DDG.

      It’s the one where I clicked “No AI” and the results page thanked me for voting yes!
