So much overreaction to this feature. You can turn it off, just look for it.
I think the AI summaries are super useful. 90% of the time it answers the question I have accurately and concisely, saving me time and effort.
The paragraph summaries give me a good overview of a topic, and the links to the original sources save me from scanning through tons of websites looking for details.
I never fully trust the AI summary, it's just a better way to look for information. I click on the reference link often to double check the source and the accuracy of the summary. I think I've only discovered a discrepancy once or twice.
Google isn't a utility, if you don't like Gemini, go use DDG or Bing.
