Just give me the $%()$^#^ Links, dammit

So, have you heard about the different ways to stop the Google AI Overview thing from turning up at the top of your search results? Because there’s the easy way and the funny way, so I thought I would share those with you.

Here’s the easy (and polite) way: Just type your search and add, at the end of your search term, -ai

There you go. The AI overview will not appear (at least not right now). According to the linked article, the minus sign followed by various (many?) text strings will do the same thing.

Here’s the possibly more satisfying but less polite method: If you type your search and add the word “f*ck” or variants, or other curse words, to your search, that will also stop the AI overview from appearing.

I really think that’s hilarious, but I have to say, typing -ai at the end of a search is really easier. As well as more polite.

More methods are described at the link.
