    Nice, but we should ALL (UK and beyond) be able to opt out of AI manipulation. Of course, the ideal would be, we’d have to opt in in the first place. And those below the age of majority cannot consent, so that would solve that problem.

    It should be opt-in.

    Could we have the same for YouTube videos? I don’t want your stupid summaries.

      Until they get forced to implement an off-switch, you can block them with uBlock Origin in the meantime.

    Wrong way to handle AI summaries: Google crawls the article and presents it’s summary.

    Right way to handle AI summaries: Your own browser uses a local AI model on your PC to generate the summary.

    The first is easy to stop with legislation, the second is impossible to stop and yet, if you try you’re a fucking asshole trying to tell people what they can and cannot do with their own hardware. That’s straight up villain behavior.
