Google Tests AI-Powered Search Mode With Employees 2
Google has begun internal testing of a new "AI Mode" for its search engine, powered by its Gemini 2.0 AI model, according to a company email seen by technology news site 9to5Google. The feature, which appears alongside existing filters like Images and News, creates a chatbot-like interface for handling complex queries and follow-up questions.
It generates detailed responses with web links displayed in a card format on the right side of the screen. AI Mode targets exploratory searches such as product comparisons and how-to questions that traditional search results may not effectively address. The company is currently testing the feature with U.S.-based employees, with CEO Sundar Pichai indicating a possible launch this year.

In other news, tech unemployment rate has dropped to 2%. https://www.computerworld.com/... [computerworld.com] Those poor ex-Googlers won't have any trouble finding jobs. Maybe not at the 300K they're used to, but the jobs are there at more competitive rates, like 100-150K.

Just give me the google search of 5 years ago. What they have now is way less useful than it used to be.
