The new AI Overview experience that Google is testing shows a much fuller AI answer, like you'd get in AI Mode, and loads the follow up \"Ask anything\" box by default.\n\nThis pushes the default search results, the ten blue links, way down lower on the page.\n\nI am able to replicate this, but it was first spotted by Chris Long who posted an example of this on [X](https://x.com/chris_nectiv/status/2092984357782794593) - he wrote, \"Holy moly SEOs: Google is now revealing the AI Mode prompt box BY DEFAULT for some queries.\" \"This is how Google continues to push AI Mode as the default search experience,\" he added.\n\nHere is a GIF I made of this:\n\nTo understand the difference between how AI Overviews use to work, Google would load a snippet of the AI Overview, and you'd have to click \"Show more\" to see the full AI Overview response.\n\nLike this:\n\nBut for some queries, it just loads the full AI Overview, with the Ask anything box already opened. Pushing down the organic search results way below the AI Answer:\n\nHere is the post from Chris:\n\nHoly moly SEOs: Google is now revealing the AI Mode prompt box BY DEFAULT for some queries.\n\n— Chris Long (@chris_nectiv)\n\nThis is how Google continues to push AI Mode as the default search experience.[pic.twitter.com/Ero2pj3BZf][August 27, 2026]\n\nThis is not good for publishers, not good at all. But I think we all expected this to happen.\n\nI have reached out to Google for a comment - so stay tuned.\n\nForum discussion at [X](https://x.com/chris_nectiv/status/2092984357782794593).", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/google-ai-overviews-pushing-searchers-into-ai-mode-drops-show-more-button", "canonical_source": "https://www.seroundtable.com/google-ai-overviews-push-ai-mode-responses-41974.html", "published_at": "2026-08-28 17:30:00+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-08-28 18:18:03.730617+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-products", "ai-tools"], "entities": ["Google", "Chris Long"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/google-ai-overviews-pushing-searchers-into-ai-mode-drops-show-more-button", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/google-ai-overviews-pushing-searchers-into-ai-mode-drops-show-more-button.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/google-ai-overviews-pushing-searchers-into-ai-mode-drops-show-more-button.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/google-ai-overviews-pushing-searchers-into-ai-mode-drops-show-more-button.jsonld"}}
