Tell HN: Add "NSFW" words in your Google query to avoid AI summary

If you add NSFW words (even a simple "nsfw" is enough) in your search query, Google won't show Gemini's summary at the top, and goes straight to results.

Well, don't do this at work. You might end up with (unexpected but predictable) results!
It reminds me of the time I was trying to find this meme about the NSFW Dutch phrase "neuken in de keuken" (sex in the kitchen) [1], so I Googled those words as best I remembered them and clicked the images tab, and (shockingly) it was all kitchen porn. I guess I forgot that people would look for porn in their native languages.

That’s a meme? I thought that’s just the 3 words drunk Germans yell on vacation. Kinda like how Dutch people like to yell Schweinehund at my car.

Yeah. Don't forget that the connector company is spelled Assmann. Two N's.
Do not forget one of those N's when the CEO, CTO and VP of procurement are looking over your shoulder.

With a name like that who would ever want to purchase from Amphenol?

Less exciting, but you can also just include -noai in the query.

Great, thanks for sharing. However, adding 'nsfw' returns different and unrelated content. '-noai' works well.

Get worse results by adding unrelated search terms just so you don't have to scroll past a few lines of useful text while you still put up with all the other useless crap. Bizarre solutions to non-existent problems.
How about blocking the div in your adblocker, or running a userscript, or (and I know this sounds crazy) not using the deeply offensive service at all?

Why not just ignoring the AI summary? Google has to pay for the AI summary, right? I'm happy to let them pay and just ignore it.

I stopped using google as a search engine for almost 2 years now, because I know that the result is there yet google somehow chooses to omit it for whatever reason, defeating its purpose.

This also work for 'AI customer service' - using NSFW words make it switch to a human.

This is great. The AI summaries are so horrible.

I updated chrome's default search handler to add the &udm=14 param - which is equivalent.

with java scripts,cookies and DOM storage turned off on an android phone, searches useing yahoo will not display an AI synopsis, except sometimes when it just does, very briefly, display the AI summerary and then reloads without it.....
