Google is blurring the line between search and chatbot

Google Search's AI makeover continues. The company said that, starting today, mobile users will be able to ask follow-up questions to AI Overviews, Google's AI-generated search summaries. Doing so will launch users into a back-and-forth with AI Mode, its more conversational take on search that already lives in a separate tab on the search page. After Google's AI Overviews awkwardly stumbled out the gate in 2024 ( pizza glue, anyone?) they've gradually become a staple of the Search experience.

Additional analysis found that Google users were less likely to click on result links when visiting search pages with an AI summary compared with those without one.
