Changes in Google AI Overviews
At least for me -- I can't know from the outside how widely this is currently
deployed of course -- Search AI Overviews have changed in a couple of ways.
First, during the setup phase some small icons very briefly appear that
may at least partly relate to the source sites for the answer (Pretty
sure I saw Reddit in there once). Also, some answers now include integral
links to a pop-up box with some source info that goes to the original
site if clicked.
