  "textContent": "On Tuesday, Google held its I/O developer event, and introduced an AI-forward version of Google Search that the company described as an \"intelligent search box\" powered by the newest version of Gemini. It turns out Google's all-new version of search semi-breaks when you search for the word \"disregard.\"\n\n\nTyping \"disregard\" into Google Search results in Google's AI interpreting it as a system-style instruction instead of a search query. \"Understood. Message disregarded,\" is the result.\n\nYou do get standard search results like a Merriam-Webster definition of disregard if you scroll down further, but the AI Overview reply is filled with a bunch of white space that blocks out what's below.\n\nThere's a similar response on mobile devices, though with less visible white space.\n\n\nUsing a non-AI search engine like Kagi brings up the expected results for the search, immediately showing the definition instead of reading it as a command.\n\n\nWords that have a similar meaning like ignore or stop produce the same result with Google's AI Overview. So do other command-like statements such as \"remember.\" Google will likely fix the issue soon, but it's a reminder of the shortcomings of the AI tools that have become impossible to avoid.\n\nTag: Google\n\n\nThis article, \"Searching for 'Disregard' Breaks Google\" first appeared on MacRumors.com\n\nDiscuss this article in our forums\n\n",
