Some Google Search users are starting to see the platform\u2019s AI Mode search engine chatbot in the wild. Several user reports across X<\/a> and Threads<\/a> show that Google is testing different locations to display the AI Mode tab \u2014 while some examples show it in the search bar itself, besides the \u201csearch by image\u201d button, in others it replaces the \u201cI\u2019m Feeling Lucky\u201d button underneath the search bar.<\/p>\n

Google said on May 1st that a \u201csmall percentage\u201d of people in the US<\/a> would soon start seeing an AI Mode option in Google Search, but the screenshots of these tests give us some idea of where it may be placed when (or if) it rolls out to the wider public. For now, Google spokesperson Ashley Thompson told The Verge that AI Mode in Search is currently limited to users of Google\u2019s experimental Labs environment.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe often test different ways for people to access our helpful features,\u201d said Thompson. \u201cThis is just one of many experiments.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not guaranteed that the \u201cI\u2019m Feeling Lucky\u201d option will officially be replaced by AI Mode, but even the knowledge that Google is considering it may upset folks who use the niche feature. The button that takes users directly to the first webpage of any search results has been a fixture of Google\u2019s homepage since the search engine launched. This may be Google\u2019s way of suggesting that AI Mode\u2019s chatbot-like responses to search queries are more efficient than allowing users to bypass the traditional search results page.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Some Google Search users are starting to see the platform\u2019s AI Mode search engine chatbot in the wild.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":97925,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3163],"tags":[323,1942,867,12,326,53,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-97924","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-artificial-intelligence","8":"tag-ai","9":"tag-artificial-intelligence","10":"tag-google","11":"tag-news","12":"tag-tech","13":"tag-technology","14":"tag-uk","15":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114500319475029548","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/97924","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=97924"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/97924\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/97925"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=97924"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=97924"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=97924"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
