I’ve been using DuckDuckGo exclusively for several years now.
I believe my reaction to seeing AI junk turned on by default was, “Not you, too!”
It will be a sad day when I have to jump to something else to escape it.
I use DDG and I have never seen any AI elements enabled by default. What are you seeing?
You see it on the search results page. Click the gear icon to go into settings and there is a link at the bottom to “manage” AI settings. For me, everything is turned on by default, but it may not have rolled out to everyone yet.
I think it takes focus over the search results based on specific search terms or maybe semantics like is it a question an AI would likely be able to answer.
Searching 'some search' gives results with an icon for AI but nothing inline:
Changing the search to a question like what's the current Java version puts clear focus on AI results:
At least it still gives you the option to generate a summary or decide not to.
