    Yeah you can’t. So you are going to have to use something else. I found that duck duck go allows you to turn AI off.

    I use it now. On Firefox.

      DuckDuckGo now has their own browser that blows FF out of the water.

        If its chromium then don’t bother, let’s not forget how Google tried to take over the Internet through chromium browsers

      This is how it’s done.

      I haven’t googled anything in years.

        So what verb do we start using then? Duckling? Ask Jeeving? Yandexing?

        I’m trying to not use Google or YouTube starting this month at least for this month. (i.e. September 2026)

        (So far so good. :)

      I wanted to use Ecosia but they won’t let you 100% disable AI, which is fucked for a supposedly green venture for so many reasons.

      I’ve switched to kagi.

      It’s not free, but it’s absolutely the best IMO.

      When I search something I don’t see an AI summary. Not sure if I disabled that or not.

      • jh34@lemmy.world ⁨10⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        It only triggers if you end the query with a ? or you can turn that off too in the settings kagi.com/settings/ai

    The real question is why use Google for 99% of searches? There are very few searches where Google is “necessary,”(debatable still).

    source
  • popekingjoe@lemmy.world ⁨17⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    I’ve learned that if I absolutely have to use Google for something (which is very rare), appending a curse word with the minus symbol (i.e. “-fuck” or “-shit”) completely bypasses the ai mode since its designed to not engage with curse words, and the minus tells the search engine portion to disregard this word in the search results.

    It’s not perfect, but it makes me feel a little better, y’know?

      Useful except when the solution to some problem is to be found in an old forum post which reads something like, “how do I fix this fucking shit?”

      Doesn’t matter. The thread is just locked and ignored forever by Google. There are thousands of such issues and complaints across all Google products, and that’s how they deal with it.

    Not only has AI made traditional Googling more difficult, but it’s also just clogging up the search results no matter what search engine you choose…

    Also, I miss Pinterest.

      Also, I miss Pinterest.

      Wait, what? Why? Are you talking about the same Pinterest as that search-result-clogging, not ever leading to originals, spamming and content-obscuring piece of shit website?

      Was with you til the end there. I use the personal blocklist extension, and I got it specifically for pinterest. It’s grown to include others, but Pinterest was the beginning.

  • WanderWisley@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    The only other way that I personally know on how to get around the google AI is when you search something at the end of the search type (-AI) that seems to work well.

    udm14.com I automatically type “14” in the address bar now and choose it from the dropdown menu.

    source
    • trevdog@lemmy.world ⁨19⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      I don’t use Google for a while now because of the ads and garbage they present ahead of real results, but I remember when you used to just get what you searched for and this is close to that. pretty cool.

    • phar@lemmy.world ⁨18⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Why not just make it so you search in that as the default instead of typing 14?

      source
      • YoiksAndAway@lemmy.zip ⁨17⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        I probably should. I have a searXng instance as default, but their results are never as good as udm14, so I got used to just going there.

      You can also get to this through the UI, too. It’s the “Web” tab.

    Google’s core ranking algorithm and traditional results list rely heavily on AI and machine learning models, completely separate from generative summaries or AI overviews.

  • thisbenzingring@lemmy.today ⁨18⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    They installed an app on Android recently and it’s just called Google but really it’s their AI app. You can uninstall it. Who knows if it’ll reinstall itself…
