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.
replyI 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.
replyMy mom texted me the following when Windows did some big update integrating AI and probably had one of those menu bar popups announce it:
reply“Sharkweek, my computer says it has AI on it now!?? Yikes! What does that mean?”
This happend to me too. What does it mean, indeed? Yikes!
reply“Is that just what AI says?”
reply‘No, it’s from $majorAmericanCorporation.’ look at screen, see $majorAmericanCorporation name in a pill as citation you can click on within the Google AI Overview
Thanks Google!
I use that google AI overview a lot but I’m still using ChatGPT for 80% of my queries now.
