Or you could just… you know… not use Google.
Just.
You know.
There was one Huge AI blocklistfilter too, I use that with ublock origin. Helps when other search engines don’t cut it ¯\(ツ)/¯
If I remember correctly that one blocks every site that has AI. This one just removes AI from pages were it’s annoying (like google search).
When making your search, type “-ai” at the end. For example:
How tall is the Eiffel tower -ai
You’re welcome.
I kept accidentally summoning the AI assistant on my mom’s tablet so I told it to fuck off. It was like “words can hurt!” So I told it to fuck off again.
Just udm14?
Oookay just tried this to find a manuals of my microwave… Just works. Much like I had to role play with the fucking engine couple says ago till it found the correct manual.
Thanks.
In the past, I’d sometimes use Google for image reverse search, when the other engines didn’t turn up anything. Since they integrated that AI overview, that’s basically broken, as it only shows relevant results for maybe 10% of my queries.
I don’t know how they managed to break that, like I’m not on the AI overview tab. I just want the functionality they supported for the past 10+ years.
They had to make it worse so that the number of queries would go up. When you find what you were looking for on the first try, it doesn’t make number go up!
Literally this is what happened and why it’s so bad now.
I like: https://noai.duckduckgo.com/
https://tenbluelinks.org/ has a good setup to make a non AI version of Google your browser’s default search
Of course that’s assuming you specifically want to such with GoogleThis method worked on Firefox for me, on desktop as well as mobile. Haven’t tried it on Chrome because I figured I could use it if I get desperate trying to find something.
Firefox has tons of extensions to remove/hide/block AI overview in Google searches. Just search “Google AI” on their extensions page and you’ll get nearly a dozen extensions to choose from.
Or just stop using Google. Hit them where it hurts.
Keep asking it questions until it doesn’t want to answer you anymore because you cost so much money /s
Just keep asking “why” like a 4 year old. See how deep the rabbit hole goes
Turning off google AI overview is aimple;: stop using google
Is there a browser plugin to constantly query their AI in the background? Wasting their power might send a message.
I add a query parameter to go to web search, rather than the default search, so no slop here
