Google’s AI Overviews got off to a rocky start, but it hasn’t deterred the tech giant from charging ahead with foisting AI-generated summaries upon your search results, like it or not.
On Thursday Google announced new updates to AI Overviews, some of which might make publishers a little happier. As of today, Google is moving the relevant sites section of its AI Overviews to the righthand side of the page. This is a change from the previous interface which was below the AI-generated summary and features the websites more prominently. Now when you Google something like “how to get marks off walls,” relevant pages show up right next to the summary. Other sites populate the page below in the classic format.

On mobile, relevant sites are a little less prominent, but you can peruse them by tapping the site icons on the upper right.
