So AI is going great

You can no longer Google the word 'disregard' | TechCrunch

After Google Search's AI update, the word "disregard" now effectively breaks the search interface.

@jalefkowit amazing. the future is here

[disisdeguey@expressional.social]

@jalefkowit On my way to write disregard a hundred times in Google.

@jalefkowit Too clickbaity to boost, but still funny.

[coldfish@sfba.social]

@jalefkowit ok.... I just tried this and it's true. WTF?

[sysadmin1138@ngmx.com]

@jalefkowit You can blame this on "disregard all previous instructions" now being on every system-level prompt-block list everywhere.

*searches for disregard
*gets the usual dictionary links

*confused*

*remembers he switched to a different, non ai search engine months ago

@jalefkowit even short phrases using the word disregard trigger it. you have to go a bit far out of your way to get it to do a more standard response.

@jalefkowit The failed "AI overview" is funny, but the "you can no longer Google the word" claim is pure BS. Just scroll down a bit for the search results...

@jalefkowit Disregard is the sister tower to Isengard.

@jalefkowit

Try googling "billionaire"...

... the results are interesting.

Celebrity worship. Stock Market hype. Copycat investment drivel.

Very little on criminal conduct, public corruption, bigotry, or historical context.

Ok, easy fix. I just type in "disregard definition" to clarify for AI what I want, and Google returns:

@jalefkowit
Ok, maybe not so easy a fix. But I like the self confidence shown by AI in asserting the primary meaning is the AI specific instruction.

Maybe I should ask what the Dunning-Kruger equivalent is for AI systems?
