One of my teenage children was recently at a friend's house. They were looking stuff up on Google. My child typed their search queries in the form of "search term fuck"

Their friend was surprised at the use of the naughty word and asked them why they were doing that. They said: I do it to suppresses the AI

Apparently my teenager listens to me… 😂 I guess I'm doing something right 🤣

@spiegelmama various publications ran articles on it last year too

If you're sick of Google's AI Overviews, try this genius hack

We tried it, and it works like a "f*cking" charm.

@kbsez it's literally the search term postfixed with the word fuck. As this article says, it works like a fucking charm 😉

@webhat sadly, if I suggested that to my son, he’d not understand why I’d want to suppress the AI response. He just reads whatever’s at the top of the page, whether it’s webpage or AI summary. :/
