"Ignore, Remember, Stop, Dismiss, and Disregard seem to cause issues on some browsers. The AI mistakes the query for a chatbot instruction :)

Adding "-ai" to the end of the word should bypass the issue, e.g. "Ignore -ia"

I'd like to know which browsers those are.

So I can avoid them.

Apologies I misspoke. Different browser not the solution. Meant to say using non-AI search engines like Kagi or presearch should resolve the issue. There is limited time when one's on maneuvers in the Caribbean. Asked one of our tech crew who gave me the down-low on a possible solution to the issue, but I haven't got the time to test.

With the inadvertently-appropriate kicker of the Kagi-provided definition: "willful lack of care and attention".
