DuckDuckGo now lets you hide AI-generated images in search results

DuckDuckGo's new search feature comes as the internet is being flooded with AI-generated slop.

I like how DDG handles AI. It's neither pretending it's some sort of demon, nor forcing it down your throat - it's simply up to each individual if, when, and how they use it.

This is a good example of that. I don't mind generating a few AI pics by myself. But if I'm looking for internet content I don't want your poorly generated AI slop.
- AI is just like any other tool. You wouldn’t want to use a hammer for a screw. For me, it’s the tool I reach for if no other tool can reasonably do the job or if it specifically does not require precision. It throws me off the way people started treating AI like it’s a replacement for the tools it emulates.
Praise be. Blessed be the search results.
