Many people want to opt out of AI features right now, but most tech companies are ignoring them. At DuckDuckGo our approach to AI is to only make AI features that are useful, private, and optional. Whether you are Yes AI or No AI, or somewhere in between, we think you deserve a product that gives you the option of whether or not to use AI features.

Yes AI or No AI, that is the question (Gabriel Weinberg)
Personally, I prefer to avoid generative AI products, and I like that DuckDuckGo makes it easy to opt out. Compared to my former employers, it is an approach that I’m much happier with.
You can pick an option at VoteYesOrNoAi.com and see here the current results are. As of when I’m writing this, there have been nearly 165,000 votes and 90% of those are people choosing No AI.
