If youre sick of Googles AI Overviews, try this genius hack

You can't completely turn off Google's AI Overviews, but users have discovered a profanity-laced workaround. If you add "fuck" or a variation of the word to your Google search, it turns off the AI-generated summary at the top of the page. The origins of this hack are unclear, but LA Times reporter Keri Blakinger posted a TikTok about it in early March, saying she had heard about it from an episode of the Scriptnotes podcast. But it appears to have originated from a Jan. 27 Tumblr post by user flootzavut, who wrote, "Swear in your search request. I know it sounds ridiculous, but the most effective way I've found of it not doing the AI summary is just to add'fucking' go [sic] my search."
