Search engine DuckDuckGo has introduced a new filter to hide AI-generated images in its image search results, relying on open-source blocklists from uBlock Origin & uBlackList, and user choice for more private searches.

I just want them to make their Ai off by default. I don’t save cookies or cache files on my desktop and phone and I’m sick of seeing their synthetic text extruding bot pop up with every search.

Make all Ai opt in if they are insisting on using that slop.

Off by default would be better -- but there is https://noai.duckduckgo.com/

You can set it as a browser's default search engine with the string "https://noai.duckduckgo.com/?q=%s"

Thank you for the link!

Hopefully this will stay functional or better yet they just make it opt in.
