An update on Google's "disregard" issue.
Since Friday, Google hasn’t shown an AI Overview for the word "disregard." The term was making AI Overviews "disregard" instructions instead of giving an AI search result summary.
TL;DR
- Google's AI Overviews were not functioning correctly for the term "disregard" starting Friday.
- The "disregard" issue caused AI Overviews to ignore instructions instead of summarizing search results.
- As of the article's writing, searches for "disregard" now display a traditional featured snippet from vocabulary.com.
- The author prefers the featured snippet format but expects AI Overviews to reappear.
