How to filter AI-generated images in DuckDuckGo search results

It's frustrating when you search for a good photo only to get a bunch of AI-generated fakes. Since AI-generated photos are everywhere, DuckDuckGo has you covered with a new tool that lets you weed through the AI images and find the real thing.

 

Why do we need AI-generated image filtering?

The internet is awash with AI Slop. AI tools create weird images that look vaguely real but aren't, and they can mask the real photos you're looking for.

Let's say you search for "cute puppies," and half the results you get are AI-generated cartoons.

This is where DuckDuckGo comes in with a new feature that lets you filter AI-generated images in the browser, giving you more control.

This is great because you get real, authentic photos, not fake ones, and it keeps your search results clean and relevant. So if you prioritize privacy when browsing the web and don't care too much about AI, this feature is a big plus for you.
