disable_google_ai_on_chrome epitome of incomprehensibility Instructions from Elle Logs on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l4qKqHymCBM This works for me on Chrome, at least temporarily, so in case other people find it useful: 1) Click on three dots on top right hand corner of screen 2) Click "Settings" near bottom of menu 3) Search "manage search settings and sight search" 4) Once there, scroll to "site search", click on it, and fill in the blanks in the pop-up window; it doesn't matter what the first 2 entries are, but the first functions as a name so you can put in something like "non-ai search" 5) *Important*: fill in the third blank with https://google.com/search?q=%s&udm=14 6) Click on three dots next to your new entry in "site search" (e.g., "non-ai search" if you called it that) and select "Make default" ... Reasons I did that: 1) Dad recommends Duck Duck Go instead of Google anyway, but I'm in a bit of a rut where I find changes challenging. One thing at a time. 2) The AI overview gave me wrong information twice: first, that a fictional town in an L. M. Montgomery book was a real place; second, that the Berlin Wall came down in 1990 instead of 1989. To be fair, it'd be easy for a summarizing tool to mix this up: it was in 1989 that the wall itself was torn down, but this was a step towards the reunification of East and West Germany in 1990. 3) AI tools are generally energy-intensive and a drain on the environment. Sometimes it's worth using that energy, IMO, when pattern-detecting programs can do useful things for medicine, linguistics, and so on...but to me, it's not worth wasting on google searches. I know, the individual action is a drop in the bucket. Or a fart_in_a_whirlwind, to use Joan's expression. 260114 ... e_o_i edit: "site search" not "sight search" (grrr, this is making me homophonephobic) 260114 ... e_o_i edits About the Berlin Wall, the truth is a little pickier: it started being torn down in 1989, but the official demolition finished 1990. I'll write about it more in Berlin_Wall. 260117 ... e_o_i Hm, the Berlin_Wall page on Wikipedia says the demolition was actually *finished* in 1994. But is anything ever finished? Bits of dust stick around. ...This has a whole lot to do with disabling Google AI on Chrome, doesn't it? Anyway, I *have* seen one AI summary since, but maybe I slipped up and clicked on the AI mode button by mistake. To err is human and machine: we're united there. 260117 what's it to you? who go blather from
