How To Filter Out AI Images in DuckDuckgo Search Results

If you don't want AI-generated images to show up in DuckDuckGo image search results, you can filter them out a few different ways:

1. Anytime you’re viewing image search results in the Images tab on DuckDuckGo search, you can click the AI images filter and select Hide to reload results without AI-generated content.
2. Alternatively, open Search Settings > General or Search Settings > AI Features and turn on Hide AI-Generated Images.
3. Finally, if you want a search experience without AI-generated images, without Search Assist answers, and without Duck.ai prompts and entry points, start your searches on noai.duckduckgo.com instead of duckduckgo.com.

How does DuckDuckGo filter out AI-generated images in search results?

We rely on publicly available lists to filter out AI-generated content, like those provided by uBlockOrigin & uBlacklist Huge AI Blocklist, an open-source blocklist, manually curated by project contributors.

These lists are not exhaustive, but our aim with the “AI images” filter is to filter out as much AI-generated content as possible.
