The Intercept conservative?! The Nation conservative?! What gives?
It showed me the same thing, but after searching again a few times I’m now seeing a summary of the articles on their homepages.
Side note: I’ve had a weird bug a few times with DDG lately, where it showed me results for current events that were completely unrelated to what I was looking for. I searched for something like “10 inch chef’s knife” but the results were as though I had typed “US house of representatives speaker.” This has happened maybe three or four times in the last two weeks.
Yeah where are those descriptions coming from? Also mentions “the strike workers’ strike” and repeats “politics” twice
Seems like a poorly trained ML model - crudely speaking, perhaps its training set was tilted towards descriptions of conservative news sites so it learned to insert the word “conservative” when describing a news site.
I don’t want to jump to conclusions, but that does sound like a very possible explanation.
Poo. I was hoping DDG would keep LLM-generated summaries out of their UI.
