90%? Could be selection bias. I think, the result would be a different one if users would have been asked to in the Google AI tab.
You need to fetch users from different places for your sample to get more meaningful results.

Even without AI, you can’t find Neocities sites there because DuckDuckGo relies on Bing.
I like the ai assistant answers, seems to not include much SEO bs. Ddg, bing, google, startpage, whatever... All shit SEO results imho

I wonder what percentage of Lemmy users are absolutely sick of seeing variations of the exact same thing, over, and over, and over, and fucking over again.
and 45% of those respondents were A.I.
Is this from the "poll" where you could click "Yes AI" or "No AI" without any further context or explanation on what the question even implies. Yes the marketing stunt works but that's not a poll one should cite.
Don't get me wrong, I really don't want AI slop in my results but this "poll" is just marketing.
It's the one where I clicked "No AI" and the results page thanked me for voting yes!
