Really glad I can make noai my default search now!!! I do wish there was more it could do to scrub AI generated images from search results, but that's not duckduckgo's problem, the whole internet is poisoned with AI slop now.

Still a ways to go, but a very good start.
I still see quite a lot of obvious ai art when I search for images to use in my dnd campaign, but if we keep reporting them as AI then hopefully soon we can get rid of most

first impression not good - searched for "anime" once and immediately ai pictures came up, even with "hide" on.
