DuckDuckGo Is Hoping to Win Over AI-Hating Searchers
https://gizmodo.com/duckduckgo-is-hoping-to-win-over-ai-hating-searchers-2000632816Are you tired of AI-generated images cluttering your search results? Lucky for you, there’s a way out of the slop, and it starts with forgetting about Google.
DuckDuckGo, the privacy-focused search engine and web browser, recently rolled out a new feature that allows users to hide images made with AI from their search results.
You can try it yourself right now by running a search on the DuckDuckGo search engine and going to the images tab. You’ll now see a new drop-down menu option titled “AI Images” that can be toggled to hide or show AI images.
“Our goal is to help you find what you’re looking for. You should decide for yourself how much AI you want in your life – or if you want any at all,” the company said in an announcement posted on the social media site X (formerly Twitter).

Duck Assist and Duck AI are optional.
Duck assist: "Generate a short answer from the web"
Duck.ai "Chat privately with AI"
I hadn't even noticed the addition to the image option bar.

Ty for sharing!
