From what I can tell, this isn't actually a response/protection against prompt-injection (which is what I imagined from the article's title).

It seems to be just the AI responding to the word "disregard".

I tried searching for the phrase "never mind" (like, the Nirvana album), and Google's AI responded similarly:

    never mind
    No problem at all! Just let me know if there's anything else I can help you with later. Have a great day!
It's just a terrible user experience because the AI misinterpreted the search query, and the actual web search results are pushed "below the fold", on purpose.

The nirvana album doesn't have a space - for me, searching for "nevermind" gets me straight to the album
