I searched for that exact phrase out of curiosity because I haven’t used Google in years… and it’s even worse than you say.

I got an AI summary that takes up half the screen, which doesn’t even give the right answer, then 5 YouTube videos with thumbnails and extra crud (most not even related to the question but just mention “ArduPilot” somewhere on the title), then half a page of “Other people searched for..”

Then about 3 “screens” down the page I get the ArduPilot homepage and then a bunch of embedded Reddit/Facebook discussions about ArduPilot in general, none about setting up GPS.

Google has *completely* lost the plot.

There’s a Web tab which you can click to show only the web results, none of the AI, videos, other people, etc.

I presume you want that to be the default, but I’m sure you understand that Google can’t grant your wish, because it’s subject to market forces.

For me, in Ireland, tacking "-ai" on the end of Google searches disables the hallucination engine. For now at least.
