For anyone reading this but not the article, the issue is that the AI interprets the query literally as a command to disregard the query. So Google’s AI does exactly that. The actual search works as normal, and Google didn’t ban or otherwise censor the word.
sure they did … by forcing bullshit ai that has multiple flaws and gives bullshit information.
these companies get no logical passes anymore. everything they do, is a direct attack on the planet and humanity and shouldn’t ever be met with 'its not really their fault because…
A while ago, I saw a trick that you can force disable the AI thingy by putting -SomeSuperOffensiveWord (replace with any slur) at the end. This will exclude all results containing the word (which should be none). But the AI will hit the word, and quit because it’s not allowed to work with offensive word. This whole thing is just stupid
You could also just add the udm=14 parameter to your search URL, which defaults to the “Web” tab of the results like so - easy enough to configure this to always be present in Firefox, and helps you avoid googling dozens of slurs a day as a bonus

Gemini is always telling me it won’t stand for my abusive language, but it can still help me with that

Am I still allowed to add the slur words if it helps me feel edgy?
Of course, that’s something no AI will ever be able to take away from you
Firefox actually has a few different extensions that will automatically add the udm=14 tag to any Google searches.
I was going to suggest this too. The “Web” tab is very useful.
Like I have to go to gemini for it to not work? I just searched it and the results are:
Has the term “Google it” changed meaning suddenly?
Edit to add: the first definition came from the “AI overview” section
Here’s my result:
That shows you’re specifically in AI mode- is that the default experience for you now?
Nope. This article was specifically about the AI response, so that’s why I went there. I typically use Brave browser / search
Oh… Thats a blatantly misleading headline then 😅
Thanks for explaining, hope you have a lovely day ☺️
Nah the article shows it happening in all, and I’ve seen other people do it as well. I think they’ve just responded already and shifted what occurs.
The real problem is normalization of end user getting pushed untested beta bullshit
i have to scroll halfway down the damn page but i do still get a dictionary response.
