I love a poll that doesn’t tell me what I’m voting for. I can only assume this is an advertisement stunt and not intended to collect any data?

It's an advertisement for noai.duckduckgo.com, a version of DuckDuckGo that disables the AI features and tries to filter out AI-generated content. (Or, if you choose "yes", it's an advertisement for DuckDuckGo's AI features.)

Aside from the fact that it kind of obviously is if you "vote" the fact that it says "Not sure yet? That's okay — vote anyway!" is kind of a give-away that this isn't going to produce anything like rigorously useful data on the question (it produces a lot of other data though!)

At least for me it tells me about some options to use ai privately for duckduckgo so I assume it's from them. Possibly collecting views for Ai generated search results.

Yes, it seems to be DuckDuckGo advertising that they'll let you control the use of AI in searches rather than foisting it on you by default the way e.g. Google does.
