“Just give me the f***ing links!”—Cursing disables Google’s AI overviews

[uschaan@lemmy.world]

Complaining I was recommended by Gemini to contact Google support. When I asked for the link it replied "link to Google".

AI controlling our lives with no humans to plead your case to is like something out of Black Mirror. I am not looking forward to this bleak dystopian future.

Everything satirical and absurdist I've read felt very realistic.

But again, that's something most autists would sign under, I think.

[dohpaz42@lemmy.world]

It’s been my understanding that you do not contact Google. You read their docs and you like it. Have I been mistaken?

[dojan@lemmy.world]

Get off Google. There are alternatives, Qwant, Startpage, whatever floats your boat. I swapped to Kagi and honestly haven't looked back.

[teft@lemmy.world]

It's literally a plot point in Elysium.

[pelespirit@sh.itjust.works]

Mojeek too.

[osrsneedsf2p@lemmy.ml]

Honestly I just use ChatGPT for all my questions now

[kite@sh.itjust.works]

I like how in their slippery pizza cheese example, google's ai referenced a really old Reddit comment about how adding glue to the cheese will make it less slippery. Lol

If you have a paid google one account you can.

[irateanteater@sh.itjust.works]

Maybe I just don't Google easy questions, but I have never had that AI overview give me the answer I wanted.

[darorad@lemmy.world]

That's certainly a choice

[deegeese@sopuli.xyz]

It’s always answering taking the easy way out and answering a different question.

If you give it a question with only bad answers, it’ll hallucinate a feel-good wrong answer.

&udm=14 is still unknown??

[triptrapper@lemmy.world]

I hope you wrote this light-heartedly, because it made me laugh and helps me understand autism a little better.

[remembertheapollo_@lemmy.world]

I’ve started using SearXNG. Are these better?

[bestbouclettes@jlai.lu]

To be fair, I feel like reality is way past satire now...

[cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com]

DuckDuckGo

[corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca]

That used to be how you would get past voice response systems and get to an operator quickly as well: just say "fuck", once, clearly.

Zero Google AI in chat gpt, mission accomplished I guess?
