tbh I also use google AI tools frequently. It’s convenient (search bar is top of my window), and extremely fast at generation. For quick Qs, opening a chat bot and changing the default reasoning from my coding settings, switching from Work to Chat, etc etc, is too much of a faff.
- yard2010 8d agoI ended up adding -ai to every search in the browser level to turn this crap off. I couldn't find a way to disable it otherwise. I did it after it hallucinated the world cup games schedule which made my friend send wrong events to everyone after he "looked it up". Can't stop this from him, but at least this honest mistake won't happen to me.
- ShadowOfThePit 8d agoSurely there's an extension for whatever browser you are using? Firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/hide-google-ai-overviews/ Chromium: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/hide-google-ai-overviews/neibhohkbmfjninidnaoacabkjonbahn Safari: Seems there are none
- hbn 8d agoGoogle Search's AI has gotten... better. But it's still frequently spouting as much made up shit as I expected from LLMs not doing their research a couple years ago. Just this morning I looked up what time today's Nintendo Direct livestream is. It correctly told me it's today at 7am PT (confirmed from actual link sources). It then tried to get smart and tell me what that would be in my city's timezone and it was an hour off (possibly because I'm in a timezone without daylight savings)
- m11a 7d agoYes it's definitely not SOTA, and is worse than all the chatbots I use. But it's correct frequently enough that the convenience + speed does it for me.
