Brave search does also have AI, but it doesn’t seem annoying, and you have to expand it yourself to see it. It isn’t shoved down your throat.
Having an AI overview is handy to have around when you actually want it. On Brave it’s just available. Also it doesn’t tend to hallucinate what isn’t supported in the search.
Maybe Brave is using a summary model and google is using a retro-fitted chat model. So theirs ends up opinionated and wants to share extra facts. But I can only speculate.
