Google continues pushing users toward AI Mode. In this recent test, Google isn’t showing a “Show more” button for some queries.
Chris Long spotted this first and shared a video on X, 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.”
We couldn’t replicate this ourselves, but we saw many others on X and LinkedIn reporting the same thing.
Barry Schwartz also covered this on Search Engine Roundtable. A Google spokesperson told him:
“For some queries, AI Overviews may dynamically expand for topics where our systems determine it’s most useful for people.”
Robby Stein also responded, wrote: “Hey Barry, jumping in here with more context. AI Overviews only dynamically expand for topics where our systems determine it to be most useful. If you’ve already started scrolling, the expansion stops to keep your place. We’re always testing and tuning these experiences, so we’ll continue to refine based on user feedback.”
