Just tried it on mobile. The definition is still there below the AI overviee, but the AI overview thinks I prompted it via disregard. I guess that means quality control was...disgregarded.

The diff for the PR was probably too large so they just rubber stamped it

The results are still there though? What mediocre blog spam

They are overstating how much the user experience is degraded in this particular case. But there is a much broader implication to the fact that Google is apparently not properly sanitizing user input to its search engine!

That's so funny. > Understood. This prompt has been disregarded. Let me know if you need assistance with anything else! The bigger problem is how much realestate the AI answer takes, you need a good 2-3 scrolls to get to the first result on a 14inch laptop.

Clearly something's gone wrong here, it's not intentional for there to be so much whitespace. It's more than even queries with proper AI results.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

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?

Ladies and gentlemen, the death of HN.

I believe that was a joke.

I tried with a couple other AI search tools and got much better responses. Google sucks here. Bad title? Yes. Real issue? Definitely.
