wikipedia no longer being anywhere near the top of search results when looking up anything feels eviscerating
#they really said “you can’t use wiki as an academic source-use our garbage AI that’s even less reliable”#and you can’t even opt out of it
no but you can FORCE it away. use ublock origin and copy paste the blacklist i made into the filters to be able to remove the bullshit AI overview that google forces. it also removes youtube's forced ads (at least until they fix it)
you can also use the ublacklist extension and use this blacklist of AI image generation websites to curate your google image results
there are ALWAYS ways around stuff. it's just a matter of looking into it and asking around
I'M FREE
FOR WIKIPEDIA!!!!
Also: bookmark Wikipedia and if you already know that it's the wiki that you want, go DIRECTLY to Wikipedia and use the search bar there.
Every time you Google anything, they get data that they can sell, their advertisers get exposure that they pay for and their datacenters use a fuckload of energy. Bookmark Wikipedia.
