Enjoy the long weekend, fellow U.S. folks!<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>For everyone who&#8217;s fed up with all the clutter in Google Search, the company has launched a &#8220;Web&#8221; filter that you can activate from the top tab bar. It&#8217;s reminiscent of what Google used to be, without any shopping items, video thumbnails, suggested questions, or AI-generated answers. Instead, you&#8217;ll just get a list of links to other pages on the web.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Google doesn&#8217;t provide a way to set the &#8220;Web&#8221; filter as the default search view, but <a href=\"https:\/\/tedium.co\/2024\/05\/17\/google-web-search-make-default\/\">Ernie Smith of Tedium has discovered a workaround<\/a> that uses the site-specific search feature in most web browsers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Chrome, for instance:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Head to <strong>Settings &gt; Search engine &gt; Manage search engines<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Click the &#8220;Add&#8221; button next to Site Search.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Give the shortcut a name (like &#8220;Google Debloated&#8221;) and a keyword (like &#8220;gd&#8221;).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In the URL field, enter the following: https:\/\/www.google.com\/search?q=%s&amp;udm=14<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>You can now either set Google Debloated as your default search engine in the same menu, or access it by typing &#8220;gd&#8221; before your search query in the address bar. Any browser with custom search engine support should allow for a similar setup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;ve written more about these kinds of search shortcuts\u2014which you can use to search directly on sites like Amazon and Wikipedia\u2014in <a href=\"https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/2021\/08\/31\/8-31-2021-website-search-secrets\/\">a previous issue of the newsletter<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-button-color-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-button-color-background-color has-background is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Too much AI news<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The past week in tech news has been all about AI, with competing attempts at splashy announcements from OpenAI, Google, and Microsoft. It&#8217;s an overwhelming amount to sift through, with a lot of hype over substance, so I&#8217;m just going to focus on the handful of things that stood out to me:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>OpenAI<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/technology\/openai-plans-announce-google-search-competitor-monday-sources-say-2024-05-09\/\">did not announce a search engine as rumored<\/a>, but <a href=\"https:\/\/openai.com\/index\/gpt-4o-and-more-tools-to-chatgpt-free\/\">made some previously-paid ChatGPT features free<\/a>, including PDF uploads and third-party plugins called &#8220;GPTs.&#8221; It&#8217;s also launching desktop apps that can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomsguide.com\/ai\/chatgpt\/ive-been-testing-openais-new-chatgpt-mac-app-this-is-what-spotlight-should-be\">invoke ChatGPT with a keyboard shortcut<\/a>\u2014Mac soon, Windows later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Google<\/strong> will be scattering more AI features throughout its products later this year. Having <a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/gadgets\/2024\/05\/gmails-ai-powered-email-summaries-can-dig-through-your-inbox-for-you\/\">Gmail summarize your emails<\/a> sounds intriguing, but would you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pcworld.com\/article\/2333139\">pay $20 per month for it<\/a>? By contrast, using AI to <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.google\/products\/photos\/ask-photos-google-io-2024\/\">make inferences about your photo library<\/a> may be the kind of thing that demos well but is impractical most of the time. Meanwhile, privacy concerns abound with a forthcoming Android feature that will <a href=\"https:\/\/arstechnica.com\/gadgets\/2024\/05\/google-wants-ai-to-listen-to-your-phone-calls-detect-scam-callers\/\">eavesdrop on your phone calls<\/a> for the sake of scam detection. The biggest news, though, is the arrival of <a href=\"https:\/\/searchengineland.com\/google-rolls-out-ai-overviews-in-us-with-more-countries-coming-soon-440418\">AI-generated overviews<\/a> for all Google Search users, not just those who opt in. Hopefully it doesn&#8217;t <a href=\"https:\/\/www.platformer.news\/google-io-ai-search-sundar-pichai\/\">destroy the web as we know it<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Microsoft<\/strong>, meanwhile, wants to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tomshardware.com\/tech-industry\/artificial-intelligence\/total-recall-the-only-copilot-ai-feature-that-matters-is-a-huge-privacy-risk\">record everything you do on your PC<\/a> and make it all searchable with AI. The feature, called Recall, will be exclusive to a new wave of AI-friendly PCs that have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2024\/5\/20\/24160486\/microsoft-copilot-plus-ai-arm-chips-pc-surface-event\">Qualcomm&#8217;s Snapdragon X chip inside<\/a>. The activity data will be kept on-device, but it still sounds like a ticking security and privacy time bomb to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Do you care?<\/strong> I&#8217;ve struggled with how to cover generative AI in this newsletter, because while it&#8217;s clearly the most-hyped thing in tech right now, I&#8217;ve yet to find it all that useful on a day-to-day basis. My approach has been to share major developments or neat use cases, but otherwise act as a filter against the noise. Feel free to let me know whether or not that&#8217;s working for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-button-color-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-button-color-background-color has-background is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center\">Now try this<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"708\" src=\"https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/pcmanager-1024x708.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6865\" srcset=\"https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/pcmanager-1024x708.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/pcmanager-300x208.jpg 300w, https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/pcmanager-768x531.jpg 768w, https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/pcmanager-100x69.jpg 100w, https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/pcmanager-150x104.jpg 150w, https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/pcmanager-200x138.jpg 200w, https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/pcmanager-450x311.jpg 450w, https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/pcmanager-600x415.jpg 600w, https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/pcmanager-900x623.jpg 900w, https:\/\/advisorator.com\/members\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/pcmanager.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Microsoft&#8217;s PC cleanup app:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/store\/productId\/9PM860492SZD?ocid=pdpshare\">PC Manager<\/a> is a free app from Microsoft that can clean up temporary files, locate large files for deletion, and free up system memory, among other things. <strong>Beware, though:<\/strong> The app&#8217;s &#8220;Health check&#8221; section will try to make Edge your default browser unless you tell it not to.
