No, Google Search Console did not add an AI Overviews filter to the Search Performance report. There was a ton of buzz this morning that Google added the ability to filter out AI Overview data in Search Console, but it was a fake and not a real screenshot. As you know, Google lumps AI Mode and AI Overview data with web data in Search Console and has no plans to be transparent about how well or poorly AI search features perform for site owners.

This was spotted by Matt Smith who wrote on X, "did you see that Google is now featuring individual Google reviews directly in AIO? Checked a few Doctors and seeing it consistently. For the most part they are just featuring their own reviews. Keyword: Robert adelson md reviews."

Robby Stein, Google Search VP of Product, announced on X on Friday that users can now open Google's new AI Mode by going directly to google.com/ai. Minutes later, Logan Kilpatrick - the lead product manager for DeepMind, Gemini, and all of Google's AI products - took things one step further: Responding to a user who commented that AI Mode "must be the default" for Google Search, Kilpatrick responded that the change would indeed roll out "soon."

AI Overviews offered incorrect information about the game to some players, as well as the crew at Spilt Milk Studios when they tested the responses. For instance, AI Overviews suggested that a player could damage a trinket when they were removing debris from it, which is not true. It also in some cases delivered the correct information, but pointed the user to an incorrect source.

AI Overviews are transforming search marketing by allowing users to engage in natural dialogue with search engines, expecting comprehensive answers rather than lists of links.

Google's AI Overviews (AIO) generate extensive summaries from multiple sources for search queries, transforming Google into an Answer Engine rather than just a Search Engine.

AI communication capabilities have evolved, providing vast input and output possibilities beyond simple text interactions. From photos to videos, AI can enhance creativity and communication, while also raising concerns about authenticity.

AI Overviews are Google's AI-generated answers that appear above traditional organic results, designed to address user queries directly and efficiently.

One of the most popular questions Australians asked was: 'How to inspect a used car?'. Google's 'AI Overviews' revolutionize search results in Australia.
