AI Mode has moved beyond basic English and is now available in Hindi, Indonesian, Japanese, Korean, and Brazilian Portuguese. AI Mode is also available in autocomplete and is said to soon be the default of search itself. And that's just what Google's got going. Apple is working to introduce a newly improved and vastly smarter version of Siri and an AI powered web search tool in 2026. Alibaba has introduced a translation AI that is vastly smarter with a fraction of the error rate of competitors. Court documents show Google recognizes the open web is in "rapid decline". Amazon is experiencing a significant drop in search visibility according to new data from Audience Key. Reddit launches Pro tools for publishers in Reddit Pro, and, a study shows that while 95% of ChatGPT users visit Google on a regular basis, only 14% of Google users got to ChatGTP. Rumors of search's demise are greatly exaggerated. Google has updated the search quality raters guidelines adding AI Overview examples and YMYL definitions. These are just a few of the dozens of stories we touch on this week in an AI everywhere edition.
