DuckDuckGo Lets Users Hide AI-generated images in Searches
What's the story?
DuckDuckGo now lets users hide AI-generated images in search results, thanks to a new filter you can turn on in settings. It uses curated blocklists to reduce AI image clutter, helping people find real pictures easier, especially after controversies like Google’s baby peacock mix-up.
