Google is testing AI chatbot search for YouTube - The Verge
Overview
Google is testing "Ask YouTube," an AI-style results page that combines videos, Shorts, and conversational text summaries as part of embedding conversational AI into search. Critics warn AI-generated, platform-native result pages could centralize attention and bypass creators’ context and traffic. The new Shorts player updates — like Clear Screen, faster playback, and removing the dislike control — are part of the same product experimentation on how users engage with video, and could amplify concerns about reduced creator feedback and shifting traffic patterns.
