Google Pushes AI Overviews Deeper into Search Results

Google has started testing automatic expansion of AI Overviews in its search results. This means that users will no longer need to click on a 'Show more' button to access additional information related to their query. The expanded AI-generated response is now displayed at the top of the page, pushing organic search results further down.

This change has been met with criticism from publishers who fear it will worsen the situation where users rely too heavily on AI services and do not visit the original source for more information.
