I would like google’s AI blurb at the top of search removed not because it reduces click volume to other sites but because it’s ALWAYS FUCKING WRONG and no matter how many times I send all caps feedback tagged “NOT FACTUALLY CORRECT” it will still always be fucking wrong.
I hate it. I hate seeing it. I hate knowing it’s wrong and still checking to see if, yep this time it’s wrong a fucking gain
Years of Wikipedia or a relevant stack overflow post being the first result has just trained people to implicitly trust the blurb. It takes active training to stop, realize it’s AI, and scroll down 2 inches to see that the AI blurb is directly refuted by the Wikipedia article that used to be at the top
I’m not a fancy computer-knower so maybe by doing this I’ve beamed the contents of my cybermind directly to an NSA datafort but I downloaded an extension for Firefox that just hides the Google AI overview. Doesn’t help me when I’m on my phone, but it’s still nice.

I’ve started adding “-ai” to every query and it’s a silly “fix” but has been helping

You can hide the AI overview in duckduckgo (though this requires enabling cookies)
there’s probably a UBO custom script that would do it without the cookie, if you trust those devs more than ddg
there is!
