Google Search now generates AI images when it can't find what you're looking for on the web

Google is updating its AI Overviews to generate custom images when the search engine fails to retrieve relevant visual results from the web. By utilizing the Nano Banana 2 Lite model, the feature aims to fill gaps in information for specific queries that lack existing imagery. This move reflects a broader shift toward generative search tools that create content on demand rather than relying exclusively on indexed data.
