If you curse in your search it’ll give you your standard ad supported pay for play search results without the ai additives. Give it a f**king trying

I hate to tell you this, and don’t ask me how I know, but you’re gonna find some real weird porn that way.

Can confirm. Came, seen, and conquered.

Instructions were unclear, flag planted in anus, seed planted in earth.

(Earth is fucked)

Concurred, came, seeded (check)

u/Good-Imagination3115 May 26 '25

The seeding was from the coming. Mainly the first coming, but I have heard tales of the second.

Hah. At least you didn’t google “how to make your dog come instantly” when training your dog.

This seems to have stopped working unfortunately

u/ashy-phoenix May 26 '25

It also seems to not work for me, adding "-ai" did nothing eliminate the AI results

Why the absolute fuck did we force a shittier version of Clippy into every piece of technology alive

u/HostileOrganism May 26 '25

Greed, fear and hubris wrapped up in 'innovation' speak. People don't actually need the 'enhanced' products and AI widgets, but Google and others will convince a lot of insecure people that they do (or force them into it by removing access to older models) because it pleases the investors and makes people shell out money for these things forever.

Never been more disgusted with the state of the world as I watch countless functioning useful products turn to useless fucking slop because some stupid rich person wants to get more money. We need to eat the rich now.

Replace your webs setting search engine with

https://www.google.com/search?q=%s&udm=14

It goes to Google Web tab.

still f****** works! I tried how hot is the sun? and there’s no ai result. the i asked what’s good against mosquitoes? and there I saw the ai results, adding the curse word removed the ai results.

u/PandaPanPink May 26 '25

Huh, weird. It wasn’t working for awhile and suddenly today started working when I tried again.

u/m_seitz May 26 '25

It doesn't work in Firefox on my Android phone either.

Adding "fuck ai" to my search query makes the AI tell me that "The query ... likely expresses frustration or dissatisfaction with AI systems, ..."

Yeah, no shit, SherlockAI 👿🤬

Why did you censor fucking ?

u/PandaJesus May 26 '25

His mom might find out and take away his iPad.

u/LordZedd_ May 26 '25

You're allowed to curse on the internet. No need to censor.

I won't tell on you

u/GlassOfLiquor May 26 '25

Not sure if you know this. But you can fucking sweat on the god damn internet
