A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

There's an extension called Disable AI that gets rid of those intrusive Google Search AI "replies". I strongly recommend people to use it, because… seriously, they are convincing but misleading trash.
The two phonemic transcriptions of "disregard" in the first picture are a prime example of that. I could go on a full rant about it, but to keep it short: compare them with the ones provided by Wiktionary, and play "spot the differences". (Bonus points if you also play "spot the undeclared assumptions".)
There's also https://noai.duckduckgo.com/
You can also change it in the settings. Look for "search assist"; values are "never", "on demand", "sometimes", and "often".
But yeah, to be frank I use mostly DDG nowadays, I focused on Google due to the OP.
