DuckDuckGo’s DuckAssist beta AI works pretty good for now. It won’t attempt certain politically charged questions.

I asked it if there are more school shootings than gang shootings. The answer:

School shootings are a specific type of gun violence that occur in educational settings, while gang shootings typically involve criminal activities and rivalries. Overall, gang-related shootings are more prevalent than school shootings in the U.S., as they account for a significant portion of gun violence incidents.
