Google reverses one-click AI Mode entry after ads clicks dropped
gaganghotra_ · x · 2026-11-06
According to @gaganghotra following Google's earnings call, Google has started testing a rollback: tapping to expand an AI Overviews answer no longer takes users directly into AI Mode.
The author argues the one-click path into AI Mode was bypassing the results page and costing Google ad clicks, prompting the reversal on mobile. It hints at tension between AI Mode and Google's existing ads business.
