Google curtails appearance of AI Overviews in searches: Know what happened

Google announced “AI Overviews” at its annual I/O event and the feature was released to US users on May 14. The rolling out of the feature was followed by people sharing screenshots of misleading answers generated by AI Overviews. Google had offered an explanation stating that some of the screenshots were faked, and ensured that the AI Overview will be improving after learning from the feedback. It seems that the technology giant has now reduced visibility of AI Overview in Google Search, especially when compared to the Search Generative Experience (SGE) experiment which was launched in 2023.
