        I don't use Google search much so I can't speak to actual settings, but browser extensions like uBlock (if you can access them on your device) can block a variety of visual elements from appearing, including specific ones of your choice.

        At least for uBlock, if you wish to block an element that is not blocked by default (or is not found within any extra block lists you download for the extension), the main method is to right-click the element (eg. the AI Summary box), then select [Block Element], optionally check the [Preview] to make sure it will appears the way you want, then confirm with [Create]. So, 3-4 clicks to get rid of the problem item after you figure out the extension itself.
