DAE feel like DuckDuckGo is now just as good as google for the vast majority of searches?

Not because DDG got better, but just because google got worse.

google is still better for site-specific searches, and google scholar still has minimal AI slop

“just as good”? No, I feel it is (and has been for years) vastly superior but I mostly use it to find documentation or Stack Overflow answers so consistent UI and concise summaries are high priority to me. Take that as you will

I don’t think anybody can dethrone Google Maps yet but that’s another story

I still haven’t found Google to be worse than Bing yet.

I wonder how the whole “AI is more important than copyright” thing could play into this… Someone could totally program an “AI” map assistant right?
