AI is already opt-out 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.
