Yes. They already have, and always have. As well as a big giant page that gives you step by step instructions on where to go in your duck duck go settings to turn it all off.
I get the AI hate, I share it. But do a little research please. DDG (from what I can tell) has never given anyone any reason to not at least give them the benefit of the doubt.
I switched to DDG recently for the first time ever, so I was effectively a new onboard for them. AI was in fact not opt-in, and I had to turn all of it off.
Opt-in is what you call a feature that is disabled by default, where you have to turn it on. Folks are saying the AI features are opt in, but the comment you’re responding to is saying it isn’t, because it’s on by default and you have to disable it.

Opt in, not opt out. DDG knows better, clearly.

Opt in is when you go into settings to enable it. Not when you go to settings to disable it.
