Okay, so Google have made some very big announcement to the way on search in Online, using their super-smart AI called Gemini 2.0. Think Google Chiti Gets some Brain.
Easier, Smarter Summaries (AI Overviews):
- Ah, you know how when you ask Google a question, sometimes it gives you that little box at the top with a quick answer? They’re calling that an “AI Overview.” Well, get this, they’ve made it way smarter!
- So, before, it was alright for simple stuff, right? But now, with this new Gemini 2.0 thing, it can actually handle really tricky questions. Like, imagine asking Google a complicated math problem, and it just spits out the answer, easy peasy. Or, even if you ask it about something in a picture, it can understand and explain it!
- And here’s the best part: you don’t even need to be logged in or anything to see these summaries anymore. They’ve opened it up for everyone. It’s like they’re saying, “Here, have some helpful information, no strings attached!” Pretty cool, huh?
“AI Mode”: Talking to Google Like a Friend:
- Now Google also Starts to Explore something new called “AI Mode.” It’s like having a conversation with Google.
- This is currently for people who subscribe to “Google One AI Premium.”
- Instead of just giving you a list of websites (those blue links), Google gives you a full answer, like someone explaining it to you.
- Key things about AI Mode:
- It can understand really complex questions.
- You can ask questions using text, your voice, or even pictures.
- You can keep asking follow-up questions, just like a real conversation.
- How to find it:
- You can find it on google.com, on the google app, or directly at google.com/aimode.
Google’s Being Careful:
- Google knows this AI is still new, so they’re working hard to make sure it gives correct information.
- They’ve built in safety features to stop the AI from making things up or giving wrong answers.
- If the AI is not sure of an answer, it will show the regular web search results.
- They are trying to prevent it from giving misleading information.
What This Means for You:
- Searching online could become much faster and easier.
- You’ll get answers directly, without having to click through lots of websites.
- It’s like having a smart assistant who can explain anything.
So, to wrap it all up, Google’s taking a big leap with AI in search. It’s exciting, and it promises to change how we find information. But, it’s a journey, not a destination. We’re seeing the beginnings of something truly powerful, and while it might not be perfect yet, it’s definitely something to watch. It’s like seeing the first steps of a child, you know they will run eventually.
