> Is the standard Google Search not an experience? Do users of Google Docs not have an experience of it? I think perhaps you're getting caught up in the semantics. They are both experiences. Referring to the Generative Search as an "experience" is only to differentiate it from the standard Google Search experience. It is really a synonym for "mode", but mode would sound too mechanical (like the modes of a Dremel tool) for something like search. Mode also implies that that it's something you turn on and off, but this is a product that itself decides when to offer you generative results, vs something like ChatGPT or Bard which are always generative. Eventually, it will likely merge back into the standard experience/mode.
