Google's AI Overviews are now full of more links, but not to websites
Briefly

Google has updated its AI Overviews in Search to include more links that redirect users to additional Google Search pages rather than external websites. This change, described as intentional, aims to improve how users explore topics. Google mentions that this feature is similar to its 'People also search for' feature and is informed by user feedback. Although there are more internal links, external website links are still present, and both will be expanded. This shift may impact broader web traffic significantly, although it enhances research efficiency for users.
