What do we think about the new DDG AI Chat feature? (duckduckgo.com)

A "natural language query" search engine is what I need sometimes.

Except DuckDuckGo AI Chat ≠ Claude

Claude = Anthropic's AI

ChatGPT = OpenAI's AI

DuckDuckGo AI Chat = a chat framework that a) allows you to choose between either ChatGPT or Claude, and b) acts as an intermediary between you and the one you choose ensuring that the one you choose does not remember conversations as soon as you refresh your browser tab, thus ensuring relative privacy as well as making it so your conversations through DDG are not used to educate the AI you chose.

As for your list of points, your original point was that Claude is just another chatbot using the ChatGPT LLM, not that one is better than the other. I assume that you stating they're different now means you agree with my original point? Cool, thread closed, I guess.

Thanks for clarifying that I am really dumb. Also thanks for the informative summary, their tool sounds really nice from a privacy standpoint

You're cool. Sorry if I came across as douchy.

That being said, you're not dumb; you just didn't know.

And yeah it's not perfect, not by a LONG shot, but I like it. I wouldn't have ever given it a try if it wasn't for DDG providing such an interface, and for free no less. (I'm broke. Lol.)
