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 🤣

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

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