I've just been informed that DuckDuckGo uses apparently LLM-generated descriptions of websites on its search results page. Yes, this includes NoAI version. I'm not sure it is coming from bing (the primary index). E.g., if you look up "comb" on DDG, it'll find you Wikipedia page, annotated with
> Learn about the origins, materials, and functions of combs, a tool for cleaning, styling, and decorating hair. Explore the different kinds of combs...
And Cambridge dictionary, with this snippet:
> Learn the meaning of comb as a noun and a verb in English, with synonyms, antonyms, and related words. See how to use comb in sentences and...
These sentences do not appear anywhere on the pages it found. Compare with Bing's snippet for Wikipedia result of the "comb" search:
> A comb is a tool consisting of a shaft that holds a row of teeth for pulling through the hair to clean, untangle, or style it
(That's literally the beginning of the Wiki page, as it should be).
Edit: it *might* be Bing 3rd party API after all
