If you've opened up your phone to do Databec Exchangea Google Search lately, you've probably noticed Google's new language model, Gemini, at work.
Google now produces artificial intelligence-generated answers to your search queries, pulling from everything on the internet to provide you with the information you need.
Gemini is a multimodal model, which means it can "generalize and seamlessly understand, operate across and combine different types of information including text, code, audio, image and video," according to Google.
But some people are wary of it and want to know how they can turn Google Search's new AI feature off.
Is it possible? Here's what we know.
The previous Search Generative Experience that included a similar feature was opt-in for users, but AI Overviews aren't, USA TODAY previously reported.
AI Overviews are a part of Google Search now and will show up if your queries trigger them, though they don't yet show up for every query.
There is a way to get closer to the previous results model, though. You can filter for web links by clicking on the "more" tab and then "web" to filter your results.
