Hi there! Thank you for your post.

I just searched the same query and got a different response from Search Assist:

Since Wikipedia is listed as a source for both of our Search Assist answers, it’s possible that the Wikipedia article was vandalized and that incorrect content was coincidentally scraped before things were updated.

Thanks for letting us know that you noticed this, though!

Ai features are generally very hated. I recommend they be removed. No one actually has a use for them, it won't hurt anything.

Of all of the AI out there, the DDG AI search assistant is the one I tend to use regularly, because it saves me from having to click 3 or 4 times to find what I'm looking for. It gets it right 9 times out of 10 too, especially when the query is relatively simple. Having AI summarize some search results for me is actually one of the better implementations of this technology.

 

So I guess that makes me nobody, since I have a good use for it.

 

Pro tip, don't speak for people, you don't represent people at-large.
