It's not just search. It's so much user-facing interactivity online. Stop black-box-inserting irrelevant search results. Stop black-box-modifying what I type in the document. Stop black-box-suggesting-as-I-type. Stop black-box-second-guessing what I meant.

I'm a perfectly capable human who can communicate my intent, and make corrections on my own if needed. What kind of deranged hubris must these engineers have to build systems that try to proactively act on what they think I actually meant?

Given that chat texts are used in court as evidence, I wonder what happens to this when the text is not what you typed, but what the AI system "corrected" for you.
Also, I wish Google could simply deliver the information I want without tracking me or gathering information about me, my interests, communication, travel, searches, or contacts.

Google should respect their users' privacy.

Please remember, you, who does a Google search, is a user, but not a customer.

Customers' interests come first, and the customers pay well for tracking and targeting.
