Just use http://noai.duckduckgo.com/, which is mentioned in TFA.

You missed the whole point of my comment. Long time DDG users have had to deal with their dumb AI for a year now

Everyone is aware of this new marketing URL now

Been a DDG user for about a decade, ever since I stopped using Google search.

Click the gear on the Search Assist box, and click the bottom option that says "Never". Right beneath it, it says: "Completely disables Search Assist".

It's always been easy to avoid DDG's AI, which was the point of my comment.

I'm not sure why you refer to the useful noai URL as a "marketing" URL.
