Let’s say that you’re worried about artificial intelligence turning us into mushy-brained monsters, draining resources from the planet, slurping all your data and human knowledge, preying on vulnerable minds, wiping out jobs, choking your favorite websites, lying to you or not being useful.

Too bad. AI is becoming increasingly unavoidable in websites and apps that you use.

That’s why it feels so freeing on those rare occasions when you’re actually given a choice: Go with the robots or absolutely nope.

I’ll fill you in on lesser-known options that let you hide AI-generated material in Google and DuckDuckGo web searches. These opt-outs can be fiddly but it’s rad to have the power over AI for once.
