    Yeah where are those descriptions coming from? Also mentions “the strike workers’ strike” and repeats “politics” twice

      Seems like a poorly trained ML model - crudely speaking, perhaps its training set was tilted towards descriptions of conservative news sites so it learned to insert the word “conservative” when describing a news site.

        I don’t want to jump to conclusions, but that does sound like a very possible explanation.

        Poo. I was hoping DDG would keep LLM-generated summaries out of their UI.

          My guess is that they’re surfacing something from Bing rather than doing this themselves. Still Not Good, though.

      That makes it sound like an outdated LLM, like GPT-2 or something. You think it is?
