To be clear, I hate that Google has decided to start baking AI into their main search engine, which I think is fated to result in disaster; but I do admire that they're introducing a new "Web" tab to their main menu this week, which is another way of saying, "Hide all the AI nonsense and your attempts to pull out the information I'm looking for from web pages before I visit, and just give me a set of links to my query." Here, what the AI and Web versions looked like on a search today.

Two views today of a Google search on "cyclic breathing" I did while fact-checking a book I'm editing this week -- first the results with "full AI" in place, then the results in the "Web" tab, which is another way of saying, "Hide all the AI nonsense, as well as your attempts to guess in advance what information on a web page I'm looking for, and just show me the links to websites relevant to my search."
