TL;DR
- Certain words are causing Google’s AI Overview to break dictionary definitions in Search.
- Typing words like “disregard,” “ignore,” and “remember” will cause AI Overview to act as if you’re telling it to do something.

We’re aware that AI Overviews are misinterpreting some action-related queries, and we’re working on a fix, which will roll out soon
