Google is testing out a search engine that looks like AI Mode on YouTube. Google is experimenting with a similar AI Mode-like search experience for YouTube. now testing “a new way to search on YouTube that feels more like a conversation,” Search results include YouTube Shorts videos and longform videos. You can search for videos on YouTube, and the results include both long-form videos as well as shorts. “experiment” If you are 18 years old or older and a subscriber to YouTube Premium in the US, this feature is available.
Now, I see an option to turn it on. The search bar now shows an “Ask YouTube” Clicking the Search bar will prompt you to ask questions. “funny baby elephant playing clips,” “summary of the rules of volleyball,” The following are some examples of how to get started: “short history of the Apollo 11 moon landing.” When I click on the Ask YouTube Button, YouTube will take me to an entire page that includes suggested searches as well as a box where you can ask your question.
Ask YouTube displays a blank page for a short time, with the loading icon. Then, after a few moments, it is filled with details and text. Then I tried it on the “short history of the Apollo 11 moon landing” prompt. There was some text at the top summarizing this mission. It included a list with milestones such as the date of Neil Armstrong’s first moonwalk and the date of lunar landing. This page also included a time-stamped video of the launch. a section about the launch day You can watch the channel on YouTube “The Life Guide,” You will find a gallery of videos below the headers “From Launch to Splashdown,” “Historic Footage and Behind-the-Scenes,” Shorts and Shorts “Moments on the Surface.” I assume YouTube pulls the text from these sections of the highlighted videos in the search results.
There are a couple of other prompts at the bottom, such as “Who were the Apollo 11 astronauts” Then (perhaps in a worrying way) “Apollo 11 conspiracy theories,” A text box appears where I can ask another question or begin a search. Then I clicked on the “Who were the Apollo 11 astronauts” and got a new, slightly differently-formatted set of results, including a grid with background about astronauts Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins. What you are looking for “Apollo 11 conspiracy theories” However, it only showed the typical YouTube search results.
Ask YouTube also got a test with something that I was familiar with. The new Steam Controller from Valve. I published a review of today. I asked. “What is the Steam Controller,” Valve has a video that shows the controls in action. new video about the controllerThe highlighting of both the longform and the a “Quick Hands-On Reviews” Section featuring Shorts, including our New Short published today The one and only from last November).
The information was mostly correct, but there was one factual error: YouTube stated that the discontinued Steam Controller did not have joysticks. when it actually has one. This was a good reminder to check the accuracy of these AI-generated search results.
