That's because they put an LLM over a traditional search engine.



Google Labs has AI Mode now, apparently.

Hm, that's not available to me, what is it? If its an LLM over Google, didn't they release that a few months ago already?


US only for now may be the issue?

It expands what they had before with AI Overviews, but I’m not sure how new either of those are. It showed up for me organically as an AI Mode tab on a native Google search in Firefox ironically.

Very interesting, thank you!


No worries.

What happens if you go directly to https://google.com/aimode ?


It asks me to change some permissions, but that help page says this is only available in the US, so I suppose I'll get blocked right after I change them.
