Google AI Overviews appears to be replacing dictionary results with prompt-style replies for these Searches

Google’s AI Overviews feature appears to be misinterpreting certain word searches as instructions instead of showing dictionary definitions. Users on X (formerly Twitter) recently pointed out that searches for words such as “disregard,” “ignore,” and “dismiss” can trigger responses where the AI acts as if it has been given a command rather than being asked for the meaning of a word. AI Overviews are designed to generate summaries at the top of Google Search results using artificial intelligence. However, in these cases, the system reportedly responds with phrases such as “I will disregard the previous prompt,” instead of providing a dictionary-style explanation.
