Today Google has announced that AI overview is now in the US. Gemini is powered by 2.0. This will help with coding, advanced mathematics and rigorous questions regarding multimodal questions. Google promises fast and high quality answers.
It also gives pride that more than a billion people are “using” AI overviews, which is at least unclear to say, because this is not a service that you choose – whenever Google wants you throw it on you. So that “users” really don’t have a choice. But the good news – more people will no longer have a choice, because AI overview is no longer logged in teenagers and people who are not logged in their Google accounts. So if it was your task to get around AI overviews, well, it is gone. The future is really here.
Moving on, Google seems to have not enough AI in your search pages, even though AI is overviewed, so it is launching AI mode as a search experiment (for now). You can really choose from search labs.
It expands what AI overviews can do with “more advanced logic, thought and multimodal capabilities”, so basically all recent AI hype buzzards are covered. This is a TAB B that shows the left side of the “all” tab, and when you are in it you can ask for content and then proceed with follow-up questions and “accessory web links” (for now, at least).
AI Mode uses the custom version of Gemini 2.0 and “especially helpful to questions that require more research, comparison and logic”, Google says without understanding what “logic” or “idea” means (but it is not just a Google problem). The point of selling here is “you can ask sensitive questions that may have been invented in the past”, and then you will need to check all the answers with all the answers if you want the accuracy above everyone else.
This experience brings in Google’s “advanced model abilities” with “Best-in-Class Information Systems”, whatever the meaning of any of them. You can also cause high-quality web content access, and also tap into fresh, real-time sources like “Jnowledge Graph.” There is also shopping data for billions of products.
And here’s an indispensable small print: “When we go aim of AI respondents in search to present information based on what is available on the web, it is possible that some answers inadvertently take personality or reflect a specific opinion.” But don’t worry, all of them will be addressed in the next test phase. It is coming soon: more visual response with images and video, more rich formatting and “new ways to get helpful web content”, whatever it means.
Google Google will start inviting AI AI Premium subscribers to be the first person to try AI mode.
