    DDG has it’s non-track version online since a bit now. Use the !ai bang to get to it

    Also you have the choice of Claude insted of ChatGPT, and your queries aren’t harvested for further ai training

    In any case, it’s a completely different tab, it’s not mingled in general search results

      DDG’s AI chat isn’t a search engine. It’s just a chat interface for GPT-3.5 Turbo and Claude, without any search access. It’s also not very up to date.

      GPT-3.5 Turbo:

      Who is the PM of the UK?

      As of my last update, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom is Boris Johnson. Please note that political positions can change, so I recommend checking the latest news sources for the most up-to-date information.

      Is Queen Elizabeth still alive?

      Yes, as of my last update, Queen Elizabeth II is still alive.

      The Claude version doesn’t fare any better:

      Is Queen Elizabeth still alive?

      Yes, Queen Elizabeth II is still alive. She is the current and longest-reigning monarch of the United Kingdom, having ascended to the throne in 1952. As of 2023, she is 96 years old.
