Google is testing ways to get more people to try AI Mode with a new AI Mode button in the Google Search bar on the Google home page. We've seen Google test AI Mode promotions with banners in the search results but now Google is placing large buttons in the search bar to get people to use AI Mode.
I think I’ve clicked that button once in maybe 15 years. IMO it’s useless and I’m surprised it has taken them this long to do something about it. I wonder what the click stats for that one button are.
I used to use it… I thought it would take you straight to the first result (but it’s been a long time since I used it)… Now all the top results are hot garbage.
I’m not a Bing fan either because it used to be regurgitated Google results. For now I’m just self-hosting an instance of SearXNG.
Copilot is pretty good for Azure stuff though, really I just like it because it always has links back to Microsoft’s documentation (even though it’s constantly changing).

I went to Bing a while back.
It’s great.

Having two buttons probably looks nicer so I guess it was decorative.
I don’t think I’ve ever used it. And I google a lot of “things.”
Especially right now, I’m feeling lots of things but “lucky” ain’t one…
