AI images: hide. Yeah, sure.

I guess old printed encyclopedias are much MUCH better than this shit for your child’s homework. Ugh, this is so disturbing.

    Don’t know how they do it, but it is definitely worth your time to mass report these images. Maybe take about 10 minutes and just repirt at many as you can. That’s what I do. Probably doesn’t do much, but if enough images are flagged, I’d hope they take a look at the website and rule whether to block that site completely. It’s what I would do if I were them.

    Edit:

    Saw in a reply that you have reported them. I personally think we should strive to create a society where genAI is consistently mass reported as what it is. And that starts with people like us.

      To be fair, it seems a lot of these images come from the same 2-3 sources. They just pollute the internet with their slop. I believe they have many other slop images for everything so blocking them would probably cut a lot of these results. They might not want to completely remove these sources because they actually have useful images as well but at this point DDG should just cut them out because they’re heavily infected.

      If this goes on, we probably end up with a curated human-centric small and limited internet at some point and it will be hard to protect it. That probably also means far from ads and SEO-based internet too, since that’s what started the pollution in the first place.

        Wasn’t Google actively pushing SEO, too? Like filtering information pollution wasn’t a huge part of a search engine’s job.

          They were, and initially it was supposed to be a good thing (like every other thing Google takes on and going forward). They made it kinda mandatory if you want to be seen on Google. After Google started pushing ad business too, it became “ads inside SEO”. It was not an optimization anymore.
