Google is using AI answers in Search for Calculator answers

This seems crazy to me, but I often use google search for simple calculations when I'm using chrome. Today, I did this and I was met with an AI generated answer.

Why on earth would I want an AI generated answer, when the calculator worked perfectly?

What is going on? Whoever turned this on at google, please, please, turn it off.

You know the llm is just calling the calculator tool right, right?
