I've been using #duckduckgo as a search engine for years and really love it but I'm starting to notice it might be pretty bad at filtering AI written web pages.
Sometime searches only produce a list of Ai written articles and going through the load of them is a frustrating loss of time.
I just tried such research in Goggle and the results are much better (first results are human written...). Aow!

About noai.duckduckgo.com - DuckDuckGo Help Pages

Starting your searches on noai.duckduckgo.com works the same as duckduckgo.com, just with AI features turned off.

@Kletskous thx a lot! Didn't know about it! Unfortunately this just disable the AI‑Assisted Answers and AI‑Generated Images. It does nothing (or not enough) to filter AI-generated articles (text). Sometimes entire websites look so artificials it's getting unreal!
Ex: https://iheartgoldens.com/about/ ... looks like it's only made to redirect people to a nice session of Amazon shopping...Loads of articles, brand new website (2026)...Such a waste of everything.

@Kletskous into it! Trying Startpage, SearXNG and Mojeek (never heard before...seems interesting!) just today. Thx!

@Disreputable_Craftsman Thanks and hope you keep me posted. Still not sure what to use myself in all this sloppy AI-mess.
