Add "fucking" to your Google searches to neutralize AI summaries

The downside of this approach is that it can affect the search results returned. But I found that if you add " -fuck" or " -fucking" to your search term, it disables the AI summary without significantly affecting your search results (unless you happen to be looking for content of a certain kind).

You will miss out on the category of strongly worded but helpful content.

Good idea, you can make it even better (i.e. less accidental filtering) by quoting the phrase and adding a random addition, ex:

    -"tiananmen square 1902481358"

This way it won't interfere if you ever happen to actually want results that mention the place.

Hmm, I'm not sure about my testing now, even with innocuous stuff the AI thing isn't back. Maybe something I did scared it off.

You can probably find some other term that disables the AI but is unlikely to occur naturally in the articles you'd like to find, e.g.: "react swipeable image carousel -coprophilia".

If you're looking for that kind of content, you could remove the minus sign?

Well, yes. You'll probably find some very niche kink videos though, depending on your search

What if you take the George Carlin approach by inserting fuck in the middle of normal words?

I want to know if it invokes rule 34?

> it can affect the search results returned

Will it still work if "fuck" is part of a quoted phrase? If so, you could avoid it by constructing a phrase that contains the term but isn't going to match anything, ex: -"fuck 5823532165".
