On "GSC’s New AI Overview Reporting: How Can We Use This Information?"

Google finally gave us visibility into what's actually happening with AI Overviews, and that matters because you can now stop guessing which pages are getting scraped and which ones are driving real traffic through that channel. The immediate move is to segment your GSC data by AI Overview appearance and watch whether those pages still get clicks or if the overview itself is cannibalizing your CTR — that'll tell you whether this feature is a threat or just noise for your specific content. If you're seeing traffic loss on pages that appear in overviews, you have a case for the noindex experiment. If traffic holds or grows, you're probably fine ignoring it.
