It's neither. Why do you expect they calculating an answer to have any impact at privacy?

I mean DDG search is safe, but my search results and search queries are going through AI, who knows they are collecting it

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 19 points 6 months ago

DDG already sends your search query to third parties. What they don't send is your identity.

(Or, at least they say they don't, whether you trust them is your option. Any 3rd party can betray your trust.)

Anyway, that image implies an in-house implementation.

It only goes through their Wikipedia LLM if you push that button

Really? It mean it only use Wikipedia. Then IDC.

Personally I've used it a few times, I tend to get my answer significantly easier than wading through the shit results DDG has been giving me.
