Google Pushes Users from Web Pages to AI Mode with New AI Overview Links

Google has been spotted testing a new feature in its AI Overviews that takes users to AI Mode instead of traditional web pages. This feature was discovered by Gagan Ghotra, who posted a video on X showing how the links at the bottom of the AI Overview prompt follow-up questions and lead users into AI Mode.

The links, which appear as normal-looking anchors, are being tested in AI Overviews to push users from usual search results to AI Mode. According to Ghotra, this is just another tactic by Google to further promote its AI technology.

Ghotra's video shows how the links work and has sparked discussion among forum members on X. The move has raised questions about Google's intentions and whether it will continue to push users towards AI Mode over traditional web pages.
