Google's new AI Overviews feature in its search results has been met with significant backlash from users. The feature, which began rolling out on Tuesday, has led many users to the Google Web Search Help forums seeking ways to disable it. However, there is currently no option to opt out of AI Overviews in the US, and the feature is set to be enabled for all US users in the coming days, with a global rollout planned for later in the year.
Users have voiced various complaints about the AI Overviews feature. Some have expressed frustration at the AI's misinterpretation of their search queries, while others are concerned about the impact on the media industry, accusing Google of plagiarizing work without proper attribution or compensation. Many users feel that the feature is intrusive and negatively impacts their browsing experience.
Despite these complaints, there is currently no way to disable the AI Overviews feature. This has led some users to consider switching to alternative search engines such as Firefox and DuckDuckGo.
