DuckDuckGo’s AI search assist says this:
“There are ongoing discussions and concerns about Donald Trump's mental acuity, with some experts suggesting signs of cognitive decline, but no formal diagnosis of dementia has been publicly confirmed. The topic remains controversial and is often debated in the context of his age and public behavior.”

What happens when a guy with dementia takes control of the most powerful army in the history of the world? There's plenty of people here on lemmy cheering military spending by the day with the argument that peace is war, let me ask it again: what happens when a guy with dementia takes control of the army and the most advanced weapons in existence?
He will defeat medicare
Then don't use the A.I.
But not trump is a pedophile! I search that daily. :)
This brings up something that has been bothering me for awhile. It's really been bothering me that when I look up an opinion Gemini will tell me whether my opinion is right or wrong. I knew it would be ripe for abuse.
We need a code word to get around censors like they did in China by calling Xi "Panda"
You can just call him "The current president" and the AI summary returns.

I had a distrust of google from the get-go back in 1998... no joke. I used yahoo for many years (and yes, I am aware that Yahoo and MSN are not much better in privacy terms) since it had a lot more than just searches. yahoo news was my main source of internet news for a long time in the very early 2000s.
Honestly don't understand this to the point I suspect you're lying or stretching the truth. Search engines were awful in the 90s for a lot of reasons that Google's technology solved.it took another 5-10 years for capitalism to catch up and make their relationship with the tech more symbiotic
Why did you have a distrust of google before their dont be evil slogan?
If overload is an issue, why not serve a cached answer for this obviously too common question?
Funny, how Google has no follow-up, or manual input for their AI.
Yay, accelerated facism using llm chat bot bullshit!
I hate AI and I love searching the words Trump and Dementia so I see this as an absolute win!
