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. As of this morning, however, when I search for “disregard,” Google shows an old-school featured snippet with the definition, sourced from vocabulary.com. I prefer this, but I assume the AI Overview will return soon enough.
