DuckDuckGo Can Now Filter Out AI Images From Search Results
"Photographers can find AI images offensive, which is hardly surprising, given that fake but hyper-realistic photos are only made possible by taking high-quality, copyrighted pictures - without permission - and feeding them to an algorithm."
"DuckDuckGo, a privacy-focused search engine and browser, has already launched the tool that will block out AI-generated images from users' search results."
"To use the filter, users can perform a search on DuckDuckGo, navigate to the Images tab, and access a new drop-down menu labeled 'AI images.'"
"The filter relies on manually curated open-source blocklists, including the 'nuclear' list, provided by uBlock Origin and uBlacklist Huge AI Blocklist."
AI-generated images are often created from copyrighted photos without permission, leading to concerns among photographers. DuckDuckGo has responded by launching a filter to block these AI-created images from appearing in search results. This feature is designed to help users choose whether they want to see AI-generated content. Users can select the new option in the Images tab through a drop-down menu, which greatly reduces but does not completely eliminate AI-generated images. The filter is based on curated open-source blocklists to improve search quality.
