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

Privacy-focused browser DuckDuckGo is rolling out a new setting that lets users filter out AI images in search results.

The company says it’s launching the feature in response to feedback from users who said AI images can get in the way of finding what they’re looking for.

Users can access the new setting by conducting a search on DuckDuckGo and heading to the Images tab.

From there, they will see a new drop-down menu titled “AI images.”

Users can then choose whether they want to see AI content by selecting “show” or “hide.”.

Users can also turn on the filter in their search settings by tapping the “Hide AI-Generated Images” option.

“While it won’t catch 100% of AI-generated results, it will greatly reduce the number of AI-generated images you see.”. »
