I use -noai at end of the search string.
This might be better if you get actual results and not 10 pages of ads and manipulated results.
Your method is much easier, however.
You could always tell it to do that using atomic operations if you prefer.
Or, if you want, you can use a real search engine and therefore vote with your data against this change
You can vote with anything! Your vote, your voice, your wallet, your data, a gun, so many possibilities. THIS is what democracy is about!
Here is a tech tip if you have to use Google for whatever reason.
Add a custom search engine in Firefox and enter this URL:
https://www.google.com/search?q=%25s&udm=web
This takes you directly to the “web” search tab and skips all the shitty AI summaries and wigdets.Here is another tip: use DuckDuckGo and get useful results and stop feeding the Google Dragon altogether
I’ve had a problem lately where DDG just returns AI generated articles on topics instead of any real resources. It’s not their fault, per se, since it’s just a wrapper for Bing, but it’s pretty lousy.
If I know what to expect, then it’s fine, but if I’m genuinely looking for something new, it’s increasingly frustrating
What are the odds this will still work next week after Google allegedly plans to completely kill the search function and just serve up AI hallucinations whenever you try to look anything up?
nah just use startpage.com or duckduckgo
if you have to use Google for whatever reason
They specifically said if you have to use Google. I have set my default search engine to ddg on every device and prefer to never touch Google but I run into searches not uncommonly which I know should be pretty easy to find, but ddg just falls over on. Google almost always comes through on those. I hate Google and think their search engine keeps getting worse, but it still has a practical use.
Udm14.com is a direct link to this
I googled it, and for others who don’t understand the word salad in the title, “RP” means “role play.”
I googled it, and for others who don’t understand the word salad, it’s is a dish of mixed ingredients, typically including vegetables, fruits, grains, or proteins. It is usually served cold or at room temperature, often tossed in a sauce or dressing.
No it isn’t. That’s a salad. A word salad is almost the same thing but the only ingredient is words. It tastes horrible.
I think the joke is that he googled it, and google’ shitty LLM returned an almost-but-not-at-all-accurate response to the question because LLMs don’t understand context. Or anything, really
Thanks 👍🏻
Ignore the snark reply. I found your comment useful
Humans do LARP just by using A.I.
&udm=14still works. For now.?
It’s just a flag you can add to your search urls that returns a regular web search. There are firefox extensions that do it for you just search for udm14
Any idea what it stands for?
be me
Click “Web”. Might be hidden behind “More”.
