The power of URL parameters lets you unofficially turn off Google's AI Overview.

AI seems to be the “I don’t need to think that much” measure of superiority this year… and sincerely, it’s likely here to stay. We will see different AIs with different levels of “no need to think” in different areas, but getting a ready made easy and simple answer, no matter how preposterous, has been the goal for a large part of the population since basically forever.

Disinformation via AI is going to be absurd, especially if Google keeps going down the path of “Here’s an AI summary of search results”. It’s only a matter of time before someone figures out how to manipulate the AI through bad data.

Google has already lost the SEO war and they (supposedly) knew how their algorithms worked. How do they ever expect to control the AI black box?
