haven’t used Google’s search engine for a long time, but a quick test seems that appending -ai to your search still returns results without the AI overview at the top of the page

If anything on any page bothers you this much, just install a custom CSS extension on pretty much any browser and remove the element
Unfortunately, the Google app ("hey Google" wake word) that is being used here, can't add/use extensions.
