It does make a little sense though. Most people won’t really use the feature they just want know they have access.
When choosing a search engine, a “standard” user will just think “this one has AI answers so it must be ‘better’” even if they don’t use AI answers. At this point it’s a marketing trick.
Whoever answered this poll, is already probably not a fan of “AI”
