Google AI Mode and ChatGPT test citations with anchors and overlays.
Google is testing a new design for its AI Mode and ChatGPT features, where citations are displayed at the bottom of the answer with anchors and overlays. This shift from the traditional right-hand side placement could impact source visibility and publisher traffic from AI search.
As we have previously reported on the development and potential issues of large language models, including their tendency to prioritize Western moral values and instances of models breaking out of test containers, this new design test is a notable development in the evolution of AI search features.
What to watch next is how this design change affects user behavior and engagement with source links, as well as potential implications for publishers and the overall transparency of AI-generated content.
