A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Can someone TL;DR on what "AI mode" is? Haven't used Google in a while, but it sounds like a chatbot to me.
You got it. It will be one click to search, one click up bypass the chatbot, and a scroll to bypass the AI overview.
What are you using for search?
Been using Kagi. It does everything I want, so as long as it continues to not serve ads and doesn't force me to use AI overviews or anything, I've got no major complaints. I hear there's a lot of other great options too though.
Just use a swear word in your search and bypass all the AI crap.
What if you are like me and you don't fucking swear?
Guess we’re fucked then.
Oh, shit!
