that's crazy. And even if you add -ai to remove the "AI" result, it doesn't show you word definitions anymore. Did they have some kind of contract with the dictionaries they used that ended? Probably cost cutting.
I think the reason is that Google wants that AI slop box to be the go-to for people. Their goal is surely to get people to only use that box. Sadly their goal is working. So many people are lazy and/or stupid that they consume the slop without thinking and without clicking a link and leaving google.
Surely the situation will get worse and worse.
Every time I think "no way people fall for this" I'm wrong. 99% of the time I see someone posting their "proof" (typically on tiktok) it's a screenshot of Google ai summary
It reminds me of conversations I had ~15 years ago with people like my relatives about Facebook and similar sites. I tried to explain to them that privacy is priceless and they acted like I was a bit unhinged. Their arguments were usually based on the fact "it doesn't matter really" and "Facebook so convenient," and "How else am I gonna share photos easily?" They trusted Zuckerberg and they didn't really understand anything I was saying.
I got nowhere and it was no fun being looked at as if I was a cassandra spreading needless worry. I stopped talking to people I knew in real life about it. I realized we'd all learn the hard way. AI will be the same.
