DuckDuckGo now lets you hide AI-generated images in search results
Privacy-oriented browser Duckduckgo is roll out A new setting with which users can filter AI images in search results. The company says it is launching the function in response to feedback from users who said that AI images can stand in the way of finding what they are looking for.
Users have access to the new setting by performing a search on Duckduckgo and on the way to the images tab. From there they see a new drop -down menu entitled ‘AI Images’. Users can then choose whether they want to see AI content by selecting “show” or “hiding”.
Users can also call the filter in their search settings by tapping the “AI-generated images” option.
Duckduckgo’s new function comes when the Internet is flooded With AI Slop, which refers to media content of low quality made with the help of generative AI technology.
“The filter is based on manually composite open-source blocklists, including the ‘nuclear’ list, supplied by Ublockorigin and ublacklist huge AI-Blocklist,” said Duckduckgo in a Post on X. “Although it will not catch 100% of the AI-generated results, it will significantly reduce the number of AI-generated images that you see.”
Duckduckgo says that it is planning to add extra filters in the future, but has not given any details.
It is worth noting that the example of Duckduckgo is looking for a baby blue for the new function for the new function controversy last year To show more images of baby blue images generated by AI instead of performing an image search for the bird.
