It seems to be just the AI responding to the word "disregard".
I tried searching for the phrase "never mind" (like, the Nirvana album), and Google's AI responded similarly:
AI Overview
never mind
No problem at all! Just let me know if there's anything else I can help you with later. Have a great day!
AI Overview
Thanks! I'm always here to help.
What can I assist you with today? If you need anything, just let me know!"thanks"
You are very welcome! If you need any more assistance with planning, information, or recommendations in your area today, just let me know!
Message received and understood! Feel free to drop a new prompt or question whenever you're ready.
I totally agree. Let's start fresh and try a completely different approach. What would you like to talk about instead?>Got it. Consider it completely forgotten! Let me know if something else comes up later on.
Searching for "Got it" and "Consider it completely forgotten" both gave me incorrect sycophantic AI responses.
> Understood. This prompt has been disregarded. Let me know if you need assistance with anything else!
The bigger problem is how much realestate the AI answer takes, you need a good 2-3 scrolls to get to the first result on a 14inch laptop.
I guess that means quality control was...disgregarded.
"No problem! If you change your mind or need help with anything else later, just let me know."
> Got it! Just let me know if you need anything else later.
damn
> Understood. I have cleared our previous conversation context.How can I help you today? Feel free to ask a new question, or let me know what you'd like to work on!
Maybe I haven't got the new AI related stuff yet?
Google AI Search Output: 'Got it! Your previous message or email is officially ignored and wiped from the slate. How can I help you instead?'
The correct description is hilarious
Instead of following that command, it's like for the first time in my life I'm being asked to look inside the content of that command.
How did you do that?
Are you afraid you’re accidentally going to write a prompt injection that sends your query to some third party
> I understand. Write what exactly your request is, or enter the text that I need to process. I will not give any definitions in response - we work exclusively on the essence of your question or task!
Which is especially funny, because it goes directly against your intention of finding definition by querying quickly in "grug-language", which worked for old search. Now you have to write in more literate style, slowing you down: swapping word order for it to sound more human-like doesn't work, surrounding "ignore" in quotes works.
Result!
thinking flickers there for a moment, then the whole section is removed
> disregard /ˌdisrəˈɡärd/ Understood. Let me know what you would like to work on instead!
amusingly, it does provide the pronunciation and the dictionary-definition h2-ish formatting... and then no definition
https://www.google.com/search?q=disregard&udm=14It's a funny bug, but hardly worthy of the headline.

Let me know if this works for ya. Hope this helps.
I'll just disregard this submission.
The fact that two people can have such wildly different experiences is absolutely fascinating to me.
