Google announced a few new AI-related updates to Google Search this week, including a new feature that appears as “Expert Advice” in AI Mode and the AI Overview section at the top of the search results page.
When a user performs a search, Google will now bring in social media posts and forum discussions from around the internet in order to help answer a user’s query. The content will appear beside the creator’s name, handle, or the community name where the information was posted. A link will also be included to the source.
In one of Google’s examples, a search about taking pictures of the Northern Lights provided the user with “Expert Advice” from sources such as photography news website DPReview and a WordPress-hosted website for an aurora borealis tour company. However, the advice also featured commentary from Reddit’s r/photography subreddit.
