"We covered Google testing using AI to generate snippet summaries and snippet descriptions, but all of those had a Gemini logo next to them, as to label them AI-generated. Now, Google was caught not showing the AI-label on these AI-generated descriptions in the search results. Google's Rajan Patel confirmed on X that the AI-generated snippets are indeed an experiment and may never end up launching. But he also said, the missing label is a bug and will be resolved."
"Brodie Clark spotted this and wrote on X, "Google is now testing AI-generated page snippets that are unmarked." "But this is the first time we've seen Google develop summaries in this way for a page without clearly labelling it to users with an AI-related icon," he added. I was able to replicate this, here is a screenshot: "Learn JavaScript by building projects, reading documentations, and practicing. Resources like O'Reilly books, Packt, and JavaScript.info are recommended," was AI-generated. How do I know? The mobile version labels it but not the desktop version."
Google tested AI-generated search snippet summaries and snippet descriptions that previously included a Gemini logo to indicate AI origin. Some desktop search results displayed AI-generated descriptions without the Gemini label. Rajan Patel confirmed on X that the AI-generated snippets are an experiment that may never launch and that the missing label is a bug that will be fixed to match the mobile presentation. Brodie Clark observed unmarked AI-generated page snippets and reported the change. A replicated example showed an AI-generated JavaScript learning summary labeled on mobile but not on desktop.
