     You can also use this instead of Google:
     https://udm14.com/

     It renders a Google search result, without AI bells and whistles.

     You can prevent the AI Overview from showing up in your search results by adding "-AI" to your search.

     Google's AI Overview is so bad! Pat just referred to it as "the fifth dentist." 😂
