Hey fuck you #Amazon. Making your search default to AI search and not putting in an option to turn that off is fucking stupid. What a waste of resources. I just canceled my Prime subscription because of this.

Amazon has been testing AI for a few months now but it's not currently on for me.  

Their search function has been horrible for ages.  To me, it's their achilles heel, but I digress.  🤔 

Were you accessing via your phone?

It appears AI is built into their mobile app.

A potential solution would be to access Amazon via a third party browser and not use the dedicated app.

There are third party blockers such as Adios Alexa for Shopping on Chrome, Edge, and Firefox
