Can I block "AI Overview" results on a Google Home speaker?

[JNLister]

I don't think my Google Home has been updated to Gemini yet, but either way it has started answering factual questions using the AI Overview from Google Search (which I have previously disabled on my computer).

To give a specific example, when I previously asked what time a shop or library closed, it answered correctly, using information from the relevant website or Google Map listing. Today it gave me information I immediately knew was false and which has clearly come from the AI Overview on web search which gives the same false information.

This means I can no longer rely on an any answer the device gives, making it functionally useless. Is there anyway I can stop this happening?
