Many Searchers Want to Turn Off Google AI Overviews


There are many searchers who have been using Google daily that are heading to the Google Web Search Help forums to ask how they can turn off the new AI Overviews within the Google Search results. As you know, AI Overviews started to roll out on Tuesday and some searchers simply do not want it.

In multiple instances, the first search result is exactly what I wanted, but the AI wildly misinterpreted my query. In addition to giving patently inaccurate information, the entire project is a moral abomination. Thousands upon thousands of real-life human beings who work in the media industry are having their livelihoods threatened because Google is now plagiarizing their work with no proper attribution or compensation to provide these results.
