DuckDuckGo has launched a new filter in its Images tab that allows users to hide AI-generated images from search results, giving them control over AI visibility. This feature does not eliminate all AI images but reduces their presence by using open-source blocklists. The update responds to user preferences for distinguishing between human-created and machine-generated content, highlighting the value of original material.
New Setting: Hide AI-Generated Images
DuckDuckGo's approach to AI features is centered on being private, useful, and optional. The company aims to help users find what they want while letting them decide how much AI influence they want in their search experience, including the option to exclude AI content entirely.
