Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Google may soon just tell users what's on the Internet instead of showing them. The company is expanding its AI search features and testing a more substantial change in the form of AI Mode - a version of Google that will only show AI results. Google insists that helping people discover content online remains central to its approach, but AI Mode won't show organic results - it is designed to operate in a conversational way, so users will have to refine their search or ask follow-up questions. The experimental feature is only available for Google One AI Premium subscribers.
