I’m so torn on this: blog.ecosia.org/what-we-are-do

I love #Ecosia, and I’m glad they’re allegedly doing it better than everyone else: more efficient, more private, renewable energy, climate-focussed training, etc, allegedly, but why even?

I guess if a #search engine doesn’t have #AI in 2025, it’s going to die. Is there a single search engine left without AI? And, if so, how long will it hold out?

TBH, I’m more disappointed in “the average user,” the ones that expect AI, than anything else.

The Ecosia Blog · What we’re doing with AIArtificial intelligence is reaching into nearly every aspect of life — from politics and culture to the global economy. Online search is no exception.
