On "Google is dynamically expanding AI Overviews for some queries"

Google's turning search results into a secondary feature, not a supporting act. When AI Overviews eat half the viewport on queries that don't strictly need them, you're looking at a company gambling that users want synthesis over options—and betting that it doesn't matter if the sources getting clicked just dropped from position one to position four. For SEO practitioners, this isn't about optimizing for AI Overviews anymore; it's about accepting that on an expanding set of queries, traditional ranking doesn't control visibility the way it used to.
