A while ago, I saw a trick that you can force disable the AI thingy by putting -SomeSuperOffensiveWord (replace with any slur) at the end. This will exclude all results containing the word (which should be none). But the AI will hit the word, and quit because it's not allowed to work with offensive word. This whole thing is just stupid

You could also just add the udm=14 parameter to your search URL, which defaults to the "Web" tab of the results like so - easy enough to configure this to always be present in Firefox, and helps you avoid googling dozens of slurs a day as a bonus

Firefox actually has a few different extensions that will automatically add the udm=14 tag to any Google searches.

I was going to suggest this too. The "Web" tab is very useful.

Am I still allowed to add the slur words if it helps me feel edgy?

[–] zkfcfbzr@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Of course, that's something no AI will ever be able to take away from you

Gemini is always telling me it won't stand for my abusive language, but it can still help me with that
