@theplaguedoc@glitterkitten.co.uk Will “-ai” work on Duckduckgo? I’ve been trying to eliminate those “summaries.”

@ELS@sfba.social Dunno, sorry. Worth a try?

@ELS@sfba.social Getting rid of so-called AI on duckduckgo is easy - they provide user options that only need to be set once. From the DDG home page (or after any search) click the 'hamburger" (three horizontal lines at top-right of screen) then: 1. Select "Settings". 2. Select "AI Features". 3. Set "Duck.ai" to "Off". (Disables chatbot features.) 4. Set "Search Assist" to "Never". (No more AI summaries.) 5. Set "Hide AI-Generated Images" to "On". 6. Select "Save and exit". @theplaguedoc@glitterkitten.co.uk
