Is there a way to turn the ai search result off in Google? It is not helpful.

I think we had a post about that recently:

How I Made Google's "Web" View My Default Search

I assume that's what this is, I haven't used Google for almost a decade so I wouldn't really know.

At least it is marked (for now) as AI-generated. Google is and always has been a black-box. Surely only a matter of time before "AI" on "traditional" (probably using "AI" too?) are mixed and merged, etc.

I haven’t seen it all. Is it rolled out globally? I also use an ad blocker though.

I don't think it has. I don't see it here in Brazil.

Living in Europe for one, I haven't seen it yet.

I don't think it's available here, at least not right now. One advantage (or disadvantage, depending on perspective) of the EC's increasingly grumpy privacy and anti-trust oriented internet regulations is that companies are becoming reluctant to throw any old shit over the wall here; "rush something, anything, out as quickly as possible to appease the shareholders" products, like this one, tend to have delayed launches in Europe.

(A less objectionable example: Threads, which seems to have been held up by DMA/DSA compliance; allowing read access without a loginwall and so on.)
