"Hey did you know that if you add '-ai' to your Google searches it'll get rid of the AI summaries?"

I mean, sure. I've been hearing even before AI summaries that Google Search is a steaming dumpster full of burning dogshit, but go off I guess.

People will do literally ANYTHING to avoid getting off Big Tech, right up until the next trendy app comes out and they'll download it without even knowing what it is. But god forbid they use Mastodon or Waterfox Search. smh
