AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

So if you're going to abuse Claude, do it through DuckDuckGo.
Joke. I don't think Claude can be run locally, so probably every request you make to DuckDuckGo's Claude model goes to Anthropic's infrastructure and Anthropic can monitor all that traffic. I'm guessing if DuckDuckGo doesn't adhere to Anthropic's rules, Anthropic will cut DuckDuckGo off, so likely DuckDuckGo has to prevent users from "abusing" Claude or risk not being allowed to continue offering Claude. Mind you, it's disappointing that they offer it in the first place, but given that they offer it, I doubt they'll risk their ability to continue doing so.
If I were tasked with a covert DuckDuckGo Claude ad on Lemmy, that's how I'd do it.
