It feels pretty fucked up that @ecosia, the "green" search engine that spends its ad revenue on planting trees, pushes "AI search" – even to such an extent that it doesn't have a regular search button to click for those not savvy enough to know to press Enter.

Let's destroy the planet for no fucking reason, to plant trees! You could just do a regular search, but no, spend 1000x more electricity just for the fun of it instead!

Guess I'll have to use noai.duckduckgo.com

@forteller @ecosia I'm still pretty unhappy about it. I switched to Search For Trees for the time being.
