Overview
- Google confirmed to The Guardian that it has removed the “What people suggest” module from Search.
- The feature, launched in early 2025, used AI to summarize first-person tips pulled from forums such as Reddit, Twitter/X, and Quora.
- A spokesperson said the tool was turned down months ago as part of a results-page simplification effort previously signaled in a November 2025 post.
- Google stated the decision was unrelated to quality or safety and said it continues to surface reliable health information, including first-person perspectives from forums.
- The change follows months of scrutiny of AI health results, with earlier reports of misleading AI Overviews prompting Google to limit some health-related AI responses.
