iOr AI slop bores me. That's basically what a lot of people are telling Google right now as they switch to duckduckgo's new no AI search engine. According to duckduckgo, its app installs increase 30% as people reject Google's AI features.
Duckduckgo has a no AI search page where AI features are turned off by default.
Many people just don't want to be force fed AI every time they search for something simple. Duckduckgo still has AI features if you want them, but their big selling point is choice. So the next time you want to search for something simple, like what are the best headphones to get in 2026, you don't love Google's AI generated results, you can use Duck Duck go to get direct results from authoritative sources with no AI.
And that is exactly what a lot of people are looking for right now.
