    I have noticed,recently,that DuckDuckGo Search Engine returns very different search results than Google.

    It is possible to search as an example:

    "translate"

    The results obtained are very different from Google.

    Doesn’t DDG use Bing?

    I changed DDG (home page) + default search engine to StartPage without using the extension to set the default search engine.

    With DDG I have too many inefficient searches.

    If I get paid I can also teach AI what it requires of me otherwise it will have to stay with its ignorance.:D

    i got it, but its not limited to you and me. anyhow, i dont see a reason to use a crappy bot, paid or not.

    a video to show up what paid gpt can do (its in german, but for the result of gpt you do not need speech)

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0fq1jlWcUv8

    and in general asking gpt for code or similar gpt is much overrated.
    anyhow any search engine is using some kind of AI for some time. you can see the foot notes where search engines give hints to similar searches (in DDG its on the right side if)

    DDG need gpt/AI otherwise it is left behind and users go back to bing or google. some people for reason need to speak and search with gpt, they are not really able to enter proper search terms in the regular search.

    In the case I have brought to attention, the AI cannot give similar results because it does not know the subject matter.
    Instead, a search using the old method achieves the goal.
