I just searched for "editor in chief" using @duckduckgo and look what it served me:

The first regular hit is en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Editor-i. But the "quoted text" below it does not sound like Wikipedia at all:

> Learn about the role and responsibilities of an editor-in-chief, who is the editorial leader of a publication with final responsibility for its operations and policies. Find out how the term is used in newspapers, magazines, journals, and academic publications.

They are unable to give me a proper summary but serve me some uninformative vague "engaging" slop instead.

@schnittchen oh fuck, that's bad! Can confirm I'm seeing this despite having all the "ai slop" settings to off.

@quinze @schnittchen that's because it's microsoft bing that is doing this and since duckduckgo gets search results from microsoft bing they also have it

Quiet public

@aylamz @quinze But I could not reproduce this on Bing proper
