As a writer of news on the web, there's a lot I could say about the integration of AI in Google Search. Instead I'll just say this: I've had Bye Bye, Google AI—a Chrome extension that hides Search's AI Overviews among other things—installed since our Jeremy wrote about it last year. But according to Google itself, my personal disdain for its AI offerings is something of an outlier.
Just for a start, Google CEO Sundar Pichai says, "AI Mode has been a revelation, our biggest upgrade to Search ever. People love it, and in just a year, it’s already surpassed 1 billion monthly active users."
