Google AI Mode displays different results in various environments, notably between desktop browsers and the mobile app. Jes Scholz identified that using Chrome offers a different experience compared to the Google App. Variances occur even with the same query when refreshed in different browsers or the same browser. Tests showed discrepancies in source citations, with queries yielding 13 sources in Safari and 14 in Chrome, while a refresh in Chrome reduced the citation to 7 sources. This illustrates the dynamic and changing nature of Google's search results.
Jes Scholz pointed out that Google has two distinct AI Modes: one in Chrome and another in the Google App, leading to different sources being displayed based on the platform.
Optimizing for AI visibility requires checking both interfaces of Google, as the source citations can vary significantly even with the same query across different browsers or refreshes.
A single query in Safari returned 13 sources, while the same query in Chrome returned 14 sources, demonstrating significant variability in search results.
Refreshing the same query in Chrome yielded only 7 sources, emphasizing the dynamic nature of search results in various environments.
