DuckDuckGo started showing AI results for me.
I think it uses the bing engine iirc.
And you can use multiple models, which I find handy.
There is some stuff that AI, or rather LLM search, is useful for, at least the time being.
Sometimes you need some information that would require clicking through a lot of sources just to find one that has what you need. With DDG, I can ask the question to their four models, using four different Firefox containers, copy and paste.
See how their answers align, and then identify keywords from their responses that help me craft a precise search query to identify the obscure primary source I need.
This is especially useful when you don't know the subject that you're searching about very well.
Sure, but it's trivial to turn it off. While you're there, also turn off ads.
