Was trying to remember a Will Forte quote from Tim & Eric’s Billion Dollar Movie and accidentally figured out how to make Google’s AI tool shut up

I'm just caught in a loop of "okay I won't respond" and then immediately on the next search "here's a popular way to make homemade root beer" slop.

But it was a beautiful thought.

Yep my immediate thought was "permanently apply this to my account". Alas.

you can also access "udm14" via the top menus on the search page. where it says "shopping images video blah blah" it will say "web" or have "web" in the "..." drop down menu. "web" == udm14. ie, you can do any time, and you can also go back to all the other results by picking the "all" menu.

Took me a sec to figure out how to get it to work, but this is great. Thanks for sharing!

there's a firefox plugin to make it go away entirely
addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/hide-google-ai-overviews/

i hate this thing and how it makes every page load lag so anything to make it go away is great

Or.. you can just type -ai as an extension to your search query and it'll not show the AI overview.

Cool trick but if you want to skip using the slop machine this works consistently: udm14.com Just save it and use it to search.

you can add that as your default search engine on some browsers: tedium.co/2024/05/17/google-web-search-make-default/

I've set that up on chrome and brave in the past year. search results are still bad, but at least it gets rid of "AI summary".

Cursing at any chatbot is the fastest way to get actual customer support too, if you ever need to contact one. If you start to get creative with language, the clankers nearly instantly fuck off. <3

I learned to enter search text and end with -AI. Its some kind of command that means search without AI content.

Besides using "-AI" I found another workaround. Ask a question, when you get the results choose the Web tab, bookmark that and then next time you do a search click on the bookmark, then the "x" to clear that previous search and type in (or paste a new search).

The fact that it gives a newly generated faux sincere "I'll never bother you again" response to every individual person and it is always lying feels like a good summary of what we're seeing from ai lately

If you want to be free of this without having to do this, or if this ever stops working for you, consider using www.startpage.com/ as a search engine, it has no AI search and uses google's search indexing, so it provides results of the same quality.

I have voicd commands on my phone disabled. Driving home, traffic shenanigans occurred. I said out loud, "okay, this is bullshit."

My phone said, "I DON'T UNDERSTAND. I AM TRYING TO GIVE YOU ACCURATE INFORMATION."

Obligatory "StartPage gets you better results than Google and doesn't have a built-in chatbot"

Truth. Startpage is my primary search engine rn. DDG might have that "noai." subdomain, but in the end, they still push AI, even though they push it somewhat softer.

yes. idk why people here are just believing ai as if it doesn't just lie. and what i don't get is, if they think ai is trustworthy, why do they want to get rid of it? like, i know why it's bad, but if they're trusting it, why do THEY think it is?

But if you switch to g**gle d*cs then Gemini takes over haha

If you want no intrusive ai + privacy there's ddocs.new :)

Google is going to recode this to no longer work by the end of the week.

Just like YouTube when someone figured out and posted last week how to get the videos to post in chronological release order…now no longer works.
