In my testing, if I click "Got it", the tooltip doesn't come back as my acknowledgement is saved in a cookie. However, if you constantly clear your cookies, you'll see the tooltip every time. In that case, you can do the following to hide it:

Create a folder on your desktop named "HideSMHAISearchTooltip".

In it, place these 2 files (create them in a text editor):

manifest.json:

{
  "manifest_version": 3,
  "name": "Hide SMH AI Search Tooltip",
  "version": "1.0",
  "description": "Hides the AI search tooltip on smh.com.au.",
  "content_scripts": [
    {
      "matches": [
        "https://*.smh.com.au/*",
        "http://*.smh.com.au/*"
      ],
      "css": [
        "hide.css"
      ],
      "run_at": "document_start"
    }
  ]
}

hide.css:

#aiSearchTooltip {
    display: none !important;
}

Then, in Opera, goto the URL opera://extensions, turn on developer mode, click "load unpacked" and point it to the "HideSMHAISearchTooltip" where manifest.json is at. Then, at the URL opera://extensions, enable "Allow access to search page results" for the extension. Also, enable it for incognito mode too if you access the SMH site in a private window.

Then, if you have the SHM page already open, reload it so the extension can be applied to it.
