Today we’re opening sign-ups to Search Labs for U.S. English users, and we’ll expand availability over time. Tap the Labs icon in the latest version of the Google app or Chrome desktop to join the waitlist or go to http://g.co/Labs. #GoogleIO#Google
I will be interviewing Cathy Edwards of Google on the new Google Search Generative Experience at SMX in a few weeks - got questions? let me know #googleio
I get that it’s hot right now, but man, the user experience of LLMs being this bot you type text to seems like a huge step backwards compared to just integrating these AI features natively into products.
I don’t use Google search anymore, but man, they really are taking over the entire search engine with their own AI model instead of showing results. I feel like web publishers are gonna be pissed.
I do enjoy split screen on my Pixel for events like this. I can have the video up top with Mastodon at the bottom. Better than picture-in-picture since it doesn’t cover up the app.
(The top corners not being rounded is driving me nuts though!)
Google has reimagined its search results page thanks to #AI, powered by not only its Knowledge Graph but also its Images database and Shopping Graph. Perhaps this is compelling enough to make this appealing.
But how does this update impact SEO and organic search results? I wonder if Google will provide answers and insights to marketers and businesses who could see their traffic drop considerably.
