happyborg<a href="https://podcastindex.social/@js" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@js</a> I've noticed that the 'AI' summaries I see on a search - <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/DuckDuckGo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DuckDuckGo</a> in my case - are often verbatim content from the top link. What do they think this will do to decent content, and when it's all gone what will they return?

J. MartinSo, yeah, <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/DuckDuckGo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#DuckDuckGo</a> just returned slop, prominently on top of the page: “Auto-generated based on listed sources. May contain inaccuracies.” WTFF.Considering that DuckDuckGo’s search results are generally not exactly stellar, and that it doesn’t allow any search parameters, I have a hard time understanding why anyone would want to use this search engine in the first place.And this new great image AI filter, well, duh. With search parameters, you get the same (non-perfect) results.

ResearchBuzz: FirehoseEngadget: DuckDuckGo now allows you to filter out AI images in search results. “DuckDuckGo is making it easier to wade through some of the AI slop that has taken over the internet in recent months. This week, the company introduced a new filter for removing AI-generated images from search results.”<a href="https://rbfirehose.com/2025/07/21/engadget-duckduckgo-now-allows-you-to-filter-out-ai-images-in-search-results/" class="" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://rbfirehose.com/2025/07/21/engadget-duckduckgo-now-allows-you-to-filter-out-ai-images-in-search-results/</a>

My name is Gordo (not really)Has anyone else on a mission to find a daily driver search engine that isn't Google or Bing given Mojeek a look? It's been around since 2004, with its own crawler and index of somewhere in the realm of 6-7 billion pages, all run from a data center in the UK run by Custodian Data Centres, who claim its one of the greenest in the country (can't vouch for the veracity of that claim; it's all news to me).They've also been lamenting the state of search on the web for years, and discussing the need for more independent search indexes, so they seem to be on the right side of the fight. Obviously, corporations are not your friends, so yeah, that could change at any moment, but while I like SearXNG (when my preferred instance is fully operational; it was barely usable for the last day or two), and Startpage when it's not telling me I'm blocked for acting like a bot or using a VPN I'm definitely not using???, they're both still meta engines aggregating results from the usual suspects (in the case of SearXNG, a very flexible one that lets the end user choose which sources they want/don't want results from, but still), so I think there's value in having at least one other actual independent crawler with its own index, and much like web browsers, it's an increasingly difficult thing to do from scratch without VC money (Cliqz tried, but couldn't survive the pandemic).Anyway, I set it as my default engine in LibreFox yesterday, and am going to trial it for at least a few days to see how it goes.
