If you have these questions in mind, sit along while I show how to disable Google Generative AI to stop AI-generated text from appearing on the top.

Some people like AI-generated text and consider it for their research while many others don’t trust the information and want to check out reliable sources.
AI has disrupted the whole world with its amazing ability to perform several duties on behalf of humans.
It became more prominent or a hot topic of discussion when OpenAI launched ChatGPT in November 2022.
Early before, AI existed but a very small number of people were talking about it.
Immediately after the launch of ChatGPT, a lot of big companies such as Bing Search, Google, etc became active very quickly and launched their own AI-powered search tools to stay ahead in the race.
While Microsoft collaborated with OpenAI to integrate ChatGPT in Bing Search after investing $10 billion in the company to form BingAI, Google launched its own AI-based Chatbot Bard to counter BingAI and other chatbots.
OpenAI is further empowering the ChatGPT enabling Internet access by using plugins. Although the plugins are in the beta phase.
What is Generative AI?
Generative AI refers to the creation of texts, images, videos, audio, and code in any programming language without coding knowledge with the help of artificial intelligence.
Generative AI is looking forward to revolutionizing the whole world by having it implemented in various leading industries to perform various tasks such as customer service, research, content creation for writers, videos for businesses, etc.
Google has implemented Generative AI technology in its search results to assist users in getting the information directly from the search result pages.
Whenever you search for any query, the AI-assisted text appears at the top of the search result page and the user doesn’t have to go to the websites to get the information.
There are plenty of other developers that are using Generative AI to their advantage. For example, midjourney, Character.AI has completely changed the way an image is created.
With just a description and a click of a button, you can generate literally any image.
That’s the magic of AI!
The coolest part is that all these images are unique in their way.
