Earlier quoted context omitted.

There used to be a Fucking, Austria until they decided to self censor for the pesky English speakers. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fugging,_Upper_Austria

disappointed that Fucking has self censored, bearing in mind their road safety signs used to suggest local residents were in on the joke https://imgur.com/5KOCwdC

They didn't self censor, they had to change the name because most tourists behaved like assholes. Stealing the road signs, parking anywhere, walking into peoples gardens, etc.

Also the road safety sign, while a funny combination, is pretty standard and can be found all over Austria.

The downside of this approach is that it can affect the search results returned. But I found that if you add " -fuck" or " -fucking" to your search term, it disables the AI summary without significantly affecting your search results (unless you happen to be looking for content of a certain kind).

You will miss out on the category of strongly worded but helpful content.

Every time some product or service introduces AI (or more accurately shoves it down our throats) people start looking for a way to get rid of it.

It's so strange how much money and time companies are pouring into "features" that the public continues to reject at every opportunity.

At this point I'm convinced that the endless AI hype and all the investment is purely due to hopes that it will soon put vast numbers of employees out of work and allow companies to use the massive amounts of data they've collected about us against us more effectively. All the AI being shoehorned into products and services now are mostly to test, improve, and advertise for the AI being used, not to provide any value for users who'd rather have nothing to do with it.

If I start fucking adding swear words to all my fucking search queries, how the fuck will the stupid ass search engine know that I did not want it to use that shit as one of my keywords and give me back a whole lot of fucked up shit?

It's not like it doesn't freely ignore any unquoted word whenever it feels like it.

Google often ignores regular words too, mockingly striking them out. This almost feels like a 1st April joke, not how a search engine is supposed to work.

Don’t worry, the next model will be trained on all your fucking queries.

I work with ML and I am bullish with AI in general; said that, I would pay between 5 to 10 USD a feature or toggle called “No AI” for several services. For myself I noticed 2 bad effects in my daily usage: - Search: impossible to reach any original content in the first positions. Almost everything sounds like AIsh. The punctuation, the commas, the semicolon, the narro vocabulary, and the derivative nature of the rece…

Is this something they're slowly rolling out, or isn't available in the EU? I don't think I've ever seen an AI summary in my Google searches.

I don't understand what triggers the AI overview.

"per capita gdp by country" - no AI

"population of Kansas" - no AI

"lisp interpreter" - no AI

"emacs vs. vim" - AI overview

"size of mit student body" - AI overview

What's going on?
