DDG is now offering free/private AI chat using several models.
DDG is now offering free/private AI chat using several models.
Why do you call this enshitification, if it won’t affect the normal searching and is entirely optional?
Have they said that or are you just implying that? It’s beta right now but I’d put money on them following in Google’s footsteps and integrating right into the main search.
It’s enshitification because instead of simply fixing their crappy SEO laden results, they’re pushing this new thing.
I’m also willing to bet that once it’s out of beta there will be either a limit on free searches or it’ll just be straight up subscription model.
And just like that, normal search is dead, and the only viable option is to pay for their new thing
Right now, they’re offering the ai chat as a separate product, with separate terms of service and a privacy policy you have to manually agree to use. I hope they don’t mess with the standard search function.
