You CAN disable them. Append -ai to your Google search query. You're welcome.
Edit: curious why are people downvoting a helpful workaround?
- rcoveson 1y agoHuge oversight by Google. Now they're going to have to invent some other way to indicate that you want to show hidden search results and inodes.
- input_sh 1y agoThat's not disabling it, that's a funky workaround that happens to work for now.
- Arnavion 1y agoWonder if DDG can be convinced to append that automatically for !g queries...
- blibble 1y agoI've got a violentmonkey script to redirect any google.com query to the non-AI version (unfortunately not on this PC else I'd paste it)
- dowager_dan99 1y agoor instead of searching for "best dog breeds for apartments" change it to "best f'in dog breeds for tiny s-hole apartments" - feels much more cathartic
- floren 1y agoYou can say "fucking" and "shit" on HN
- Evidlo 1y agoOr use this search URL: https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=%s&udm=14 https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=%s&udm=... Firefox: `Edit > Settings > Search > Add`, then set as default This also disables Google's automatic product search mode that sometimes triggers.
- frabcus 1y agoBecause it isn't disabling them - that would be an option to actually disable them. Of course there are hacks round it, but ultimately Google want us to have the AI summaries, don't care about user choice, and the best course of action is to change search engine.
