The search chatbot used to be opt-in, but now Google will try it on normal users.

    The forced change is shitty for us on here since most should know how to properly use Google. But if you think about the average user that puts in complete sentences as search queries and then takes the first reddit/Quora/Blogpost answer for granted, it’s probably an improvement for them. Media literacy has been lost long ago and most people already use Google as a chatbot.

      You can hardly properly use Google any more even before this AI.

      So many commands don’t even work now, search results have been picking related brand topics instead of what you’re searched for etc.
