Google further buries search results under AI mode

谷歌进一步将搜索结果“埋”在 AI 模式之下

Google is now automatically expanding its AI search summaries at the top of the results page for some searches, as reported by Search Engine Roundtable. The change, when it kicks in, pushes the typical list of links from a search much farther down Google’s results page; instead of seeing part of an AI Overview with a “Show more” button you can click, you’ll Google will show a full AI Overview at the top of your search, an “Ask anything” box under that, and then the list of links. It can lead to a lot of scrolling.

据 Search Engine Roundtable 报道，谷歌现在正针对部分搜索查询，自动展开搜索结果页面顶部的 AI 搜索摘要。当这一变化生效时，它会将传统的搜索链接列表推向谷歌搜索结果页面的更下方；用户不再是看到 AI 概览（AI Overview）的一部分并点击“显示更多”按钮，而是直接在搜索顶部看到完整的 AI 概览，下方紧跟一个“提问”框，最后才是链接列表。这可能会导致用户需要进行大量的滚动操作。

It’s unclear exactly what Google’s criteria is for the auto-expanding AI Overviews. Before writing this story, I was seeing them with most of my test searches. But now, AI Overviews usually just show the initial part of the response and the “Show more” button. My most consistent query to get the auto-expanding AI Overview is “what is the best game on switch 2”, but even that hasn’t been consistent across searches and browsers.

目前尚不清楚谷歌自动展开 AI 概览的具体标准是什么。在撰写本文之前，我在大多数测试搜索中都能看到这种效果。但现在，AI 概览通常只显示回复的开头部分以及“显示更多”按钮。我测试出最能稳定触发自动展开 AI 概览的查询是“Switch 2 上最好的游戏是什么”，但即使是这个查询，在不同的搜索和浏览器中也并不总是有效。

“For some queries, AI Overviews may dynamically expand for topics where our systems determine it’s most useful for people,” Google spokesperson Jennifer Kutz says in a statement to The Verge. “Our research has shown that with this dynamic experience, users find Search more helpful and engage deeper in follow-up exploration.” Kutz also says that “If users have already begun scrolling to view content below the AI Overview, we cancel expansion so that the user doesn’t lose their reading position.”

谷歌发言人詹妮弗·库茨（Jennifer Kutz）在给 The Verge 的声明中表示：“对于某些查询，如果我们的系统判定这对用户最有帮助，AI 概览可能会针对相关主题进行动态展开。我们的研究表明，通过这种动态体验，用户会觉得搜索更有帮助，并能更深入地进行后续探索。”库茨还补充道：“如果用户已经开始滚动页面以查看 AI 概览下方的内容，我们会取消自动展开，以免用户丢失阅读位置。”
