    Lol I love how people assume they won’t load the AI up with even more ads than the traditional search results.

    Just insert the ad into the middle of the AI slop paragraph. People won’t even notice when that pizza receipt using soap contains an ad for Dove.

      Logan Kilpatrick, lead product manager for Google DeepMind, Gemini, and all AI products at Google, said Google AI Mode will be the default for Google Search “soon.” He said this after Google made google.com/ai go directly to AI Mode’s interface on Friday afternoon.

      How can it be profitable? Surely the energy cost would surpass that value of a single search?

          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.

                    Ai is sometimes correct.

                    My 6th grader is sometimes correct too, but I’d still rather ask real sources than take her word for everything.

                      Or better yet, ask or lookup multiple sources, so you can somewhat fact check.

                        Hell yeah, sounds like a plan. Have you run into any compatibility issues? I’ve read that bank apps can have issues and my CU is unlikely to work. I tried setting their website up as a PWA but ran into VPN-related issues. Will do research myself but if you/another commenter has insight I’d appreciate it!

                        There’s a crowdsourced list of compatible banking apps which could give you a hint. My banking app kept working.

                        What doesn’t work is face unlock and contactless payment.l, e.g. Google Wallet. For the latter there may be workarounds, but I didn’t care.
