Google making AI Overviews into AI Mode responses

Google Search has confirmed it is now pushing searchers into AI Mode from the AI Overview by default, without having to click the “Show more” button.  The new AI Overview experience that Google is testing shows a much fuller AI answer, like you’d get in AI Mode, and loads the follow up “Ask anything” box by default.
This pushes the default search results, the ten blue links, way down lower on the page. “For some queries, AI Overviews may dynamically expand for topics where our systems determine it’s most useful for people,” a Google spokesperson told us.
