Tired of seeing results from Artificial Intelligence in Google searches on your iPhone and iPad? Want to do your part to lower AI's environmental impact? Here's how to get rid of AI Google results.

Open your browser of choice, in my case, Safari.
Tap the Search bar and enter your query as usual.
Tap the white arrow in the blue box to start your search.
You'll see AI search results at the top of the results.
Now add -AI at the end of your search terms.
This will force Google to omit AI search results, and you'll see your search results with zero AI.
