Are you tired of searching for images online only to find a sea of AI-generated content masquerading as authentic results? DuckDuckGo, a popular search engine, has introduced a revolutionary new feature that gives users the power to filter out AI images from their search results, ensuring a more authentic online experience.
Introducing the AI Image Filter: A Response to User Feedback
