Google Makes AI-Generated Discover Headlines a Permanent Feature

Google says the AI overviews improve satisfaction by aggregating information across sites.

Overview

  • The company told The Verge the AI text in Discover is now a maintained feature rather than an experiment.
  • Google says the overview headline reflects multiple sources and is not a rewrite of any single article’s headline.
  • Reporters continue to find errors, including false or misleading framings and links that conflate stories or topics.
  • Publishers’ original headlines can be replaced or truncated, with the AI-origin label tucked behind a “See more” disclosure.
  • Some AI-generated items are appearing beyond Discover, with notifications leading to a Gemini chatbot summary in observed cases.
