This question screams "I know what I mean, but haven't considered that other people might not have the same context I do". Seems like it's not an important vote but a marketing gimmick which only makes sense after you answer one way or another.

I would expect people's preferences depend on how invasive and how much control there is- Do I want AI to have unfettered access to my filesystem? No. Do I want AI to create useful regex snippets for me? Yes.

Interesting to see that 96% of "voters" went NO, though it's hard to tell what that actually means in terms of their preferences, given the question is so vague.

I think you can read this as product differentiation. If you want AI in your search experience, Google and Bing are jumping up and down to give it to you.

DDG is maybe making a savvy point that they don’t have to follow the hype. And they’re perhaps positioning themselves toward customers that want that.

You're overthinking this.
