WTF! No sign up or anything! Just a fucking email telling me I’m using it?
Fuck you Google!
I remember distinctly looking for a picture for a shit post, then I magically subscribed to having my data at their disposal? What the ever living fuck. Google will regret this move.
also has bullshit ai. used to use searXNG but that becomes unusable every so many days, so mostly use startpage now
It’s easy to turn of, by design.

I am personally not comfortable using a product where it is an option, but you can use that if it’s fine by you.
DDG has AI functionality but it can be turned off. Their image search also allows you to report any AI generated image that gets through their filters as well. Google does not really give you that option.
I know others have said it’s just Bing in a different wrapper but it’s still better than Google in most use cases.
It is most certainly better than google, but not necessarily the best option. That reporting function is somewhat suspicious to me, sounds like that could just as well be used to train ai to recognize ai so that new ai isn’t trained on ai (ai).
