Feel free to draw your own boundaries, but to me it seems like an appropriate use of AI tech to sift through lots of disparate job posts and organize the info. The energy etc. concerns about AI is still present but this is being used to help someone earn money to survive instead of generating slop images or walls of throwaway text.
You might want to try https://hiring.cafe/ as a possible alternative. I wouldn’t give it a complete endorsement though since I’ve had frequent issues getting the site to consistently load in Firefox (just checked now and it’s “failing to verify my browser”) and I get the impression they will sellout at the first opportunity even though their stated goal is to unseat Indeed & LinkedIn.
But I refuse to make an Indeed account (or LinkedIn) so it’s the lesser of two evils atm.
Good luck to you in your search.
I don’t know offhand but I strongly suspect everything related to AI is defaulted to on/show.
DDG’s description of that feature:
If you don’t want AI-generated images to show up in DuckDuckGo image search results, you can filter them out a few different ways:
- Anytime you’re viewing image search results in the Images tab on DuckDuckGo search, you can click the AI images filter and select Hide to reload results without AI-generated content.
- Alternatively, open Search Settings > General or Search Settings > AI Features and turn on Hide AI-Generated Images.
- Finally, if you want a search experience without AI-generated images, without Search Assist answers, and without Duck.ai prompts and entry points, start your searches on noai.duckduckgo.com instead of duckduckgo.com.
How does DuckDuckGo filter out AI-generated images in search results?
We rely on publicly available lists to filter out AI-generated content, like those provided by uBlockOrigin & uBlacklist Huge AI Blocklist, an open-source blocklist, manually curated by project contributors.
These lists are not exhaustive, but our aim with the “AI images” filter is to filter out as much AI-generated content as possible.
I run Firefox on Linux Mint with uBlockOrigin and uMatrix addons (with modified settings) so I can’t speak to the universality of my results, but it seems like DDG is pretty loose with how it categorizes and displays info.
With AI images set to hide on first search for “morse code chart” I get the following: Hide
Toggling the AI image setting to show instantly changes the results and displays these: Show (instant)
Without additional changes, just clicking the search button again slightly changes the results: show (re-search)
Toggling the AI image setting back to hide again instantly changes the results to: Hide (instant)
Re-running the search as is returns the same results as #1.
I’ve also previously had horrible luck getting the date filters to work when trying to use a bookmarklet style shortcut to add the dates as parameters in the address bar (they’re just completely ignored when a search is run that way for me), and as of ~2 days ago the date range just didn’t seem to work at all. I was trying to find a human authored post/article about the difference between opossums and possums and using a date range of 1950–2015 was still ONLY returning results post-2023 and they were all wordy slop.
Most important error is that you have AI results set to show instead of hide.
In for a penny, in for a pound.
If they’re going to bring such heavy charges carrying such serious prison time for typical protesting actions (or apparel‽) it might just convince some people that any restraint is unnecessary and to “earn” their sentences. I get that the current assumption is that is the unspoken goal to claim additional legal power but there doesn’t seem to be much hope left that things won’t escalate there even without a “proper” inciting incident.
