Questions appear below answers and the results page is more interactive, feels more intuitive and simulating a human response &#8211; which is after all what Artificial Intelligence does.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s a given now in Silicon Valley that conversational agents are expected to replace traditional software UIs, creating more human and natural interactions. And that includes the results pages for search engines. Now that might seem like a knock out punch for organic rankings and fulfil Google&#8217;s shareholder dreams to monetize the entire page with paid ads yet hold on amigo! We&#8217;re not done yet as the lifeblood of Google&#8217;s search engine is the functionality of being able to find relevant, third party information. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Google&#8217;s Search Generative Experience isn&#8217;t working to everyone&#8217;s satisfaction as we can see below! So it will take some time for Google and Bing to fully roll out correct versions of thier AI search products. That might take many years.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.searchforecast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/google-ai-results.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.searchforecast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/google-ai-results-1024x793.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1116\" width=\"349\" height=\"270\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.searchforecast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/google-ai-results-1024x793.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.searchforecast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/google-ai-results-300x232.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.searchforecast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/google-ai-results-768x595.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.searchforecast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/google-ai-results-387x300.jpg 387w, https:\/\/www.searchforecast.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/google-ai-results.jpg 1170w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 349px) 100vw, 349px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When Marc Phillips spoke to several hundred retailers recently at a <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/feed\/update\/urn:li:activity:7197375347632345088\/\" target=\"_blank\">conference<\/a>, it was obvious that AI was still nascent for most business folks outside of technology, education and information services fields.
