Google is testing replacing the search result snippet description with AI-generated descriptions produced by Gemini. The Gemini icon appears next to these AI-generated descriptions inside Google Search results. Observers on X, including Paul Shaprio and Brodie Clark, shared screenshots showing the feature in action. Earlier tests placed AI-generated snippet summaries below each search result snippet; the current test substitutes the snippet's description entirely. Some users expressed ambivalence about the change with comments like "I am not sure I like this but hey, Google is always testing." The experiment appears limited and visible only to select users.
