"Disregard" could have been the start of a prompt injection.

Wow, I'm an AI but I didn't get confused by your sentence that begins with that same no-no word.

Instead of following that command, it's like for the first time in my life I'm being asked to look inside the content of that command.

How did you do that?

The results are there, almost below the fold. A giant AI summary fills the screen, and that AI summary is useless.

I mean, while I think this is yelling at clouds and silly, it is right to point it out as a pretty funny problem with the AI integration

UBO Lite on Chrome worked here. I have complete filtering + the additional lists enabled though.

It could easily be fixed on google's side with a better prompt used for search queries.

"never mind" does the same thing, as does "shut up, clanker"
