I've seen more and more instances of somebody saying they "Googled it" but what they really did is read Google's AI overview. That's not the same.
Watching in rising horror as I ask my friend a question and he "looks it up" using Google... Then proceeds to just read off the generated slop at the top of the web results without even going to, like, the Wikipedia article that is right there.
