all the privacy debates surrounding Google search results from the past two decades apply one-for-one to AI chats, but to an even greater degree. That’s why we (at DuckDuckGo) started offering Duck.ai for protected chatbot conversations and optional, anonymous AI-assisted answers in our private search engine. In doing so, we’re demonstrating that privacy-respecting AI services are feasible.

I like and use DuckDuckGo but I don’t see how they can guarantee this, similar to how a VPN might claim to keep no logs but you can’t really know for sure.

I think it would be cool if there was software that downloads local copies of wikipedia, stackoverflow etc., and you can ask questions that will be responded to with relevant informative pages without that query going to a server.
