Everything is marketing now

You can turn that all off in a few clicks and I believe it is kept in your site cookie so you don't need to log in

There is a very prominent "show always / show on demand / disable completely" button, which you can choose and is respected indefinitely from that point on. That's orders of magnitude better than anything else, and really the best you can do short of refusing to use any AI at all.
Just use http://noai.duckduckgo.com/, which is mentioned in TFA.
