    Whoa, awesome. I just tried it and copilot, which I did like, has been supplanted.

    I’m getting way more accurate answers.

      I tried out ddg’s ai with anthropic’s claude, and there was no character limit to inputs and no login required. With bing, it had a strict character limit, and required that I create an account and login.

        I can’t see a huge difference between openai 3.5 and Claude on ddg, but they are both beating copilot hands down.

        If I ask copilot a specific question, like when was the first year this product was released in the United States, it’ll describe the product stuff tell me about the product without mentioning the year, while the ddg chatbots both answer a similar question immediately and accurately.

        My only problem is that unless I’m missing something, ddg botsdon’t provide the source they’re getting the information from, which I do like a lot with copilot, that I can make sure the source they’re pulling the information from is accurate immediately because the link is provided.

          I’m pretty sure the bots on DDG don’t have internet access, just try asking a question about anything that happened very recently (e.g. last week) and they won’t be able to answer.
