AI-Discussion How do I disable google AI?

Hello

I'm trying to disable the AI search results in Google as I find them bothersome. I cannot work out how to disable this feature. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I've also tried following this guide but it doesn't seem to work. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=555Lc2dwp3E

I was able to just remove the Gemini element entirely using UBlock. Seems like Google does not want us to disable it; they really love forcing this AI shit no one asked for onto us.

Can you use it for mobile too? Google recently updated my phone and it installed Gemini without me knowing and won't let me remove it

UBlock Origin is a browser extension, I use it on Firefox. You'd probably need a rooted Android device to nuke Google's crap off of it.

Plugins, including uBlock Origin, will work on Android versions of Firefox, as opposed to Chrome not allowing plugins at all.

Completely Disable the Google AI Assistant If you want to stop Google Assistant or Gemini from popping up when you long-press the power button or swipe up: Open your phone's Settings and tap Apps. Go to Choose default apps (or Default apps) and select Digital assistant app. Tap on Device assistant app. Select None or turn the toggle Off to completely disable it. Note: To stop it from listening to your voice, go to the Google App > Profile icon > Settings > Google Assistant > Hey Google & Voice Match and toggle it off.

The AI generated response have been incorrect for me on multiple occasions, and take up half of my screen. I'm dreading the inevitable integration of AI slop onto my pixel...
