I looked for the right term but force-feeding is what it is. I yesterday also changed my default search engine from Duckduckgo to Ecosia as they seem the only one left not to provide flaky AI summaries.

In fact I also tried the communication part - outside of Outlook - but people don't like superficial AI polish

Dunno about DDG but on Brave Search you can turn off the AI summaries if you prefer not to have them. Disclosure: I work at Brave.

You can completely turn off the AI summaries in DDG.

Yep, seems like every product is cramming in their forced slop everywhere begging you to use their new AI they spent so much on.
