A lot of fairly obscure references here. Like, no one knows who Krang is. It would be a waste of time to talk about Krang on television. No more Krang!
Are they? They seem pretty consistent in a way you do not expect from AI.
And some design considerations do seem fairly human. They seem like an artist probably created a digital illustration of the standard duck mascot, then created a digital illustration of a pop culture character, overlayed the two illustrations, and selectively removed certain layers of each illustration in order to combine the two into one cohesive character.
I am by no means an expert at spotting AI, but I do not think an AI would place the mask under the duck bill like this. That seems do me like a rather human decision. But I may just be wrong about how AI works.
I remember seeing a statement made by the CEO about it but for some reason I cant find the original statement anymore. I've only been able to find people talking about said statement.

I just tested this and it actually works! Got a good chuckle out of that.

Same. Didn't do it for Worf, though.

No, only works for Martok apparently.

I have definitely seen it work for

Ah, that's nice, thank you.
I only tried Klingons, and only Martok seems to produce a klingon duck.

That is quite an obscure choice. It is surprising that out of all Klingons, they chose to just make Martok...

The reason it doesnt work on the no AI version of the site is that the logos are AI generated.

Heres a link to the DDG subreddit discussing trying to replace the logos with hand made art instead: https://www.reddit.com/r/duckduckgo/comments/1poigga/request_completely_human_handdrawn_duckduckgo/

Not even if they're from the same geostructure?
