Wait, it has a quick blurb on by default but actually interacting with it requires an opt in. That seems like a gold balance.
Comment on DuckDuckGo Is Hoping to Win Over AI-Hating Searchers

Somewhat ironic given that DuckDuckGo has AI on by default. You have to either save the settings on the cloud or manually turn off AI when searching using DuckDuckGo. Still a good privacy search engine though.

You can have it off by default and not use a saved session if you add a custom search to the browser with noai.duckduckgo.com/?q=%25s as the URL (or thereabouts, I’m typing from memory).

Good to know! But the out of the box version of DuckDuckGo.com does have AI on by default. I think it should be off by default.

Agreed

I wouldn’t call it private as from my experience it uses browser fingerprinting to target users.
