Google AI Overviews now with detailed shopping comparisons
Google Search is now offering detailed shopping for product queries in the AI Overviews. Google will first give you a summary answer, which you can then expand, which will provide a super long and detailed breakdown comparison between the two products.

More examples. I spotted this via Blair MacGregor who shared this example of Google comparing two bike models:
This works for a lot of various product comparison queries, so you can give it a try. There are some examples where the links do not work in the answers.
Why we care. On the organic side, this can have an impact on the traffic product comparison sites get to their websites, and of course, any affiliate or sales commissions/earnings they may get from their content. On the ad side, this may give advertisers new areas to advertise their products within Google Search.
This seems like a large change to the power of Google AI Overviews, and I personally am able to replicate this both signed in and signed out of Google Search in the U.S.
