"Yes AI or No AI?" What's the actual question? What am I answering? How is this measured? What are the consequences?

"Yes AI or No AI?" What's the actual question? What am I answering? How is this measured? What are the consequences?
- everyday7732 9mo agoThis question screams "I know what I mean, but haven't considered that other people might not have the same context I do". Seems like it's not an important vote but a marketing gimmick which only makes sense after you answer one way or another. I would expect people's preferences depend on how invasive and how much control there is- Do I want AI to have unfettered access to my filesystem? No. Do I want AI to create useful regex snippets for me? Yes. Interesting to see that 96% of "voters" went NO, though it's hard to tell what that actually means in terms of their preferences, given the question is so vague.
- moregrist 9mo agoI think you can read this as product differentiation. If you want AI in your search experience, Google and Bing are jumping up and down to give it to you. DDG is maybe making a savvy point that they don’t have to follow the hype. And they’re perhaps positioning themselves toward customers that want that.
- 7bit 9mo agoYou're overthinking this.
- 7bit 9mo agoWhat consequence? It's a vote, it has no consequence. It's just fun. And it seems intentionally phrased on an emotional level, so just answer it how you want. I don't really get how some people over engineer a subjective questionnaire you can answer anonymously into something that has real-life personal consequences.
