AI-generated search results experiment

[ChrisGreaves]

Google announces AI-generated search results experiment. Here's what to expect

In adding generative AI to search, Google could have taken the route of Microsoft Bing, replacing the Search results page entirely with a ChatGPT-style messaging system.
Instead, it's tried to incorporate AI-generated answers into the results page, and kept the list of blue links.
What Google calls an "AI-powered snapshot" appears at the top of the Search results page.

Cheers, Chris

Fortunately, we'll be able to skip the AI generated content, as far as I can tell...

"We" meaning Europe?
Cheers, Chris

[HansV]

No, I meant that the AI generated content will be a separate section at the top of the search results.

(At the moment, the new layout is available only in the USA)

Anyone yet noticed AI subscriber's to this forum

Not yet, but perhaps we just don't notice it...

Is this a path towards suggesting that we replace our Human Administrators with more-clever AI Administration?
Thanks, Chris

"Umm, I think I might have just given the game away."
