I don't know how they're going to keep this up long term but I appreciate / like the effort / feature. Even google is getting infected where I search for just an animal name and a bunch of the results are meme like AI images of something that looks "like" that animal.
But DDG scrapes some bottom feeder news publications. Newsweek and MSNBC wire reposts shouldn't be the top results. Ever. Those are ghost articles and link bait.
Helpful, but even more so would be a way to filter out AI content farms. It's getting to the point where I won't go to a site if I don't recognize its domain from the pre-GPT-3 era. Maybe domain age should be the filter. Not perfect, but no solution will be.
The amount of medical advice on those LLM content farms is very concerning, someone is going to get hurt eventually. I recently made a user script that tries to highlight LLM generated text and sometimes when I search things more than half the results are garbage and the entire articles (including the bios of the supposed professionals who write the articles!) get highlighted purple. One way to avoid them in a pinch…
How does that work?
There's a group of people for whom AI images seem to just be a trigger, and they simply never want to see them. So having a filter to remove those images makes sense. I don't really have that issue with AI images, but I often do want to have some way of filtering photographs from illustrations—be they drawings by humans, or images generated by AI. And that could go either way: maybe I want to see what an actual baby…
I recently opened Pinterest after a year or so, and did look for some nice architecture / houses, and all results had the tag 'AI enhanced'. No I don't want AI houses, I want to see real architecture! Even though the tags are there, you can't filter on 'No AI'. So I stopped using it again.

Basically every art related social media hit that state unfortunately. Aside from making search useless, it just demotivates everyone. No reason to use a social media site that appears full of bots.
Dear DDG, I genuinely, truly appreciate an AI filter on images. But for the love of Bob, would you please enable absolute operands ("" or +) in image searching? It's been on your todo list for over a decade.
Nowadays, putting in `-bar` might increase the number of results that are directly about bar.
I really want to support alternate search engines. And removing/filtering AI generated imagery is really important for research and history. But DDG scrapes some bottom feeder news publications. Newsweek and MSNBC wire reposts shouldn't be the top results. Ever. Those are ghost articles and link bait.
Jefit is my favorite app out of all I've tried. It's intuitive, let me create my CoolCicadaPPL workouts by day and automatically keeps track of my progress. When I'm working out after logging a set, it starts my rest timer, then loudly beeps when it's time to start the next set. The UI refresh was excellent.
