There has been a lot of talk lately in tech circles and on YouTube about
how to get out of receiving AI-generated suggestions when you do a web
search -- which is now increasingly the default on Google.
While sometimes convenient, AI suggestions have 3 main problems:
a) They are often wrong,
b) They make you scroll way down the page to see the actual websites, &
c) They use all the earth's websites as their database, thereby stealing
everyone's content and rendering visiting the actual content creator
websites mute (unless AI answers wrong).
Here are some ways to turn off the AI in web search:

Palestinians wounded in Israeli strikes on the Bureij refugee camp are given first aid at the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir el-Balah on May 25, 2024 in the central Gaza Strip [Bashar Taleb/AFP]
The Kuwaiti Hospital in Rafah in southern Gaza has shut down after two of its medical staff were killed in an Israeli attack just outside its front doors.
The facility is Rafah’s main hospital and was where most of the victims of an Israeli attack on a tent camp for displaced people in Rafah were seeking treatment.
Out of Gaza’s 36 #hospitals, only 16 are functional, but only in a limited manner. All medical facilities lack critical supplies, staff and medicine.
“There is seriously something dystopian about this moment when Rafah is on fire being massacred and Palestinian healthcare is beyond overwhelmed after systematic and targeted sieges on hospitals […] While medical institutions in Canada are still seriously talking about how watermelons are considered offensive.”
Israel’s latest attack on an “area full of tents made of highly flammable material” in Rafah, comes as people in Gaza are completely spent after months struggling to find food, water and shelter.
“They know that there’s no place that is safe. They know that there are no hospitals that they can … rely on for life-saving treatment, given all the systematic assaults on hospitals.”
