Google rolled out AI Overviews earlier this year. Many users now see AI-generated summaries above traditional search results. This doesn’t just risk spreading unreliable answers, it could also divert traffic away from independent media and threaten media pluralism: algorithmwatch.org/en/google-ai...

This is why we have requested internal data from Google under the new EU transparency rules to assess the impact of AI Overviews on external websites: How many people are still visiting websites after searches, versus those simply staying in Google search and reading error-prone AI Overviews?

Personally, I almost never use the AI Overview, I skate over it just as I have always skated over paid results. It's a nefarious element.

Biggest issue is noticing it is AI rubbish and not a real site when you are in a hurry. Given it has confidently given me tide times exactly 6 hours wrong it is a menace for the unwary.
