They don’t “serve Google search results”; they return blended search results from a number of different services. There is no training of AI or tracking from their search engine. Their search engine only uses AI when you want it to.
But it’s clear you don’t like them: that’s your right. Just makes sense to be fair and truthful in criticism of them.
