An Update to My Fix for Google's Ensh%$#ified Search [1]

But never, EVER, the C-Word

This technique is far less technical, and has been cross-posted from my poorly written blog.

According to Gizmodo, and I have tested it, and it works, "Add F*cking to Your Google Searches to Neutralize AI Summaries."

Useful to know, because I do not f%$#ing want Google's f%$#ing AI summaries.

They are f%$#ing inaccurate and even more f%$#ing annoying than than they are f%$#ing inaccurate.

If you are tired of Google’s AI-powered search results leading you astray with poor information from bad sources, there is some good news. It turns out that if you include any expletives in your search query, Google will not return an AI Overview, as they are called, at the top of the results page.

For instance, if you search “How large is the student body of Yale University?” the search results page will return a large AI-generated blurb above the blue links. If you instead search, “How large is the f%$#ing student body at Yale University?” you will instead get a standard list of blue link results, sans-AI summary.

(%$# mine)

As an FYI, damn, hell, sh%$, and the C-Word (Don't use it ever) work too.
