The privacy-focused search engine is asking the public where they stand on AI, arguing that AI features should always be optional.

    AI is already opt-in for DDG. Anyone can use DuckDuckGo without AI.

      It’s opt-out. The default experience of DDG is with AI. They have a subdomain without AI, and you can disable it on the main domain.

      Opt-in would be if it were disabled by default on the main domain, and they had a subdomain for AI.

      That’s opt-out not opt-in. You have to go to a special address if you don’t want AI.

        I’m pretty sure everyone understood what I meant, anyway.

          Nah, those two cannot be used synonymously. They mean different things, and one is predatory and problematic, the other is not.
