I've turned off the AI summaries, but occasionally ask one of DDG's AIs a question, and it almost always has blatant errors in the responses. Yesterday, I did a manual search first, then asked 2 of the AI models if Arm & Hammer currently sells any non-clumping clay litters. It gave me a couple products that it claimed were non-clumping, but when I pulled up product listings to buy them, they were all very clearly labeled as clumping.

Makes it really hard to trust AI for things I don't know when they're so often so obviously wrong about things I do know and can easily verify.

Just the action of writing non-clumping to the LLM will trigger it to focus on clumping most of the times and will give you that type of results

It is not intelligent at all lol
