Re: Add "fucking" to your Google searches to neutralize AI summaries
#32This is useful info, as Google’s AI summaries have frequently been inaccurate.
Example from yesterday - I was updating my mum’s kindle fire tablet after it had been in a drawer for three years. It was stepping up fire-os versions one at a time and taking hours. So, a quick web search - what’s the latest version of fire os 7?
Google AI confidently answers 7.3.2.9, so cool, it’ll be done soon then. Nope, it kept on going into 7.3.3.x updates.
If you’re going to be confidently wrong, probably best not to try.

#33At least for now, you can just append "-ai" onto your query and the AI summary will not be there.
That’s handy. Looks like it doesn’t work if “ai” is also in your search, though. E.g., https://www.google.com/search?q=how+to+disable+ai+overview+i...

#34Why would I want to do that? I find the summaries very useful
They are useful if you don't care whether the information is correct, don't care where it came from, and don't care that it was stolen from publishers who in many cases invested time and money with the expectation of receiving search traffic in exchange.
Re: Add "fucking" to your Google searches to neutralize AI summaries
#35I 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…
For search, use Kagi. You don’t have to use their AI products at all to just use search.
Strongly agree. Whenever I search something and am met with a sea of
TOP 10 X; THE 20 BEST Y; 20 REASONS Z; etc.
I go Kagi and am immediately refreshed.

#36The 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).
If you're looking for that kind of content, you could remove the minus sign?
Re: Add "fucking" to your Google searches to neutralize AI summaries
#37One tip I like to give for exploring public data is to do an early search for the word "fuck". It's a pretty ubiquitous word, but one that you assume shouldn't show up for certain fields, so seeing it, or not seeing it, can give useful insight to the the scope of the data universe and collection. Including where/who the data comes from, whether or not any validation exists during the collection process, and how updates/corrections are done to collected data.
For example, you're required to provide accurate info about yourself when donating to a U.S. federal political campaign [0]. Is it possible that someone, somewhere in America is legally named John Fucksalot? Or works for a company named Fucks, Inc? Maybe! We're a huge country with wildly diverse cultural standards and senses of humor. But a John Fucksalot, CEO of Fucks Inc, who lives in Fuck City, Ohio 42069? Probably not, and the fact that this record exists says something about how the rules and laws regarding straw donors are readily enforce. And whether or not an enforcement action happened, what field in the FEC data indicates a revised record?
Seems like this tip can still be useful in the Age of LLMs. Not just for learning about the training data, but also how confident providers are in their models, and how many guardails they've needed to tack on to prevent it from giving unwanted answers.

#38I just cannot imagine why people are still using Google for search at this point. Search results were bad before the AI summary nonsense.
Kagi has been a joy to use.
Re: Add "fucking" to your Google searches to neutralize AI summaries
#39Well . . . it certainly illustrates the diversity of the word.

Yea, it's not perfect, but when I want to find facts (such as about the sizes of nails) and not possible "hallucinations" then it works out. Most of the time I just let the AI overview happen, and I ignore it, so that Google spends more money on a useless and possibly dangerous feature.
