DuckDuckGo now lets you block AI images in its search results

Privacy-focused search engine DuckDuckGo has launched a new search filter that allows users to prevent AI-generated images being shown in image searches. The feature was added after users complained that AI images make it harder to find relevant results. The setting can be found under the "Images" tab, where a new option called "AI images" lets users choose to show or hide AI content. The filter is based on open block lists, such as uBlock Origin and Huge AI Blocklist. Because of this, the filtering isn't comprehensive--some AI-generated images may still make it through in search results.
