I read some of the article and skimmed the rest, and didn't see anything about old-fashioned search no longer being an option.

Is the idea that by making the new AI chat UX the default, that's how they're forcing people into it and making them not able to search? Or is there something I'm missing?

Second paragraph:

> Instead of returning a simple list of links, Google Search will drop users into AI-powered interactive experiences at times.

So basically you'd get redirect into a chatbot interface, rather than letting you browse search results as normal, "AI-powered interactive experience" tends to be euphemism for chatbot UIs, is my experience at least.

>at times

Yes, that is what every user ever wanted! A UI that just randomly changes!
