Old or New

Consider the following three queries. Something behind the scenes is triggering Gemini. Should the end user have a say about whether they want vintage Google (web search) or a GenAI output?

1. “What are the Olympics?”
2. “Olympics”
3. “Define Olympics”

Queries 1 and 3 provide an “AI overview” on Google, while query 2 does not.

Let’s do it again!

1. “Who are the Philadelphia Phillies?”
2. “Philadelphia Phillies”
3. “Define Philadelphia Phillies”
