Antitrust is the right approach. (As opposed to copyright.) I hope Google gets decimated.

I actually like AI overview, though I use DDG, not Google. It's especially helpful when you just want a simple answer e.g. stuck on a level in a video game, wanting to know the major exports for a country, checking the release date for a movie/game, basic troubleshooting questions.
Website developers typically bloat simple questions like this with irrelevant rubbish to waste your time and keep you on their websites longer.

We are getting to the point where llm are used to expand on a topic and fill out an article and then another llm provides an inaccurate tldr summary. What a world to live in. 🤢

Just came here to say you can block them with ublock origin, tho the CSS selector might change in the future, now just filter this in UBO:
www.google.com##.hdzaWe
You can also not use Google. I use duckduckgo and they let you turn off AI overview.
You can also avoid using the internet entirely. I personally reference my 30 volume encyclopedia collection rather than risk seeing an ad or an internet service being anything less than perfect.
There's also a bunch of addons that do the same, if you can't have ubo for some reason
