The search chatbot used to be opt-in, but now Google will try it on normal users.

@arstechnica A chat bot that makes up things, every now and then, is probably more useful than Google Search which is just SEO scripts mirror back my search terms at me and deliberately hiding all useful information for ad impressions that don't exist because I am blocking advertisements.
