It's not "weird" if you consider google "just" added a Gemini widget to their search results, which you don't need to interact with. Click on the "web" tab or set your search engine to that to go back to an old fashioned version of Google.

That said, this (and other anecdotes in this thread) are an example of mismatched expectations; the expectation is that the AI overview is an addition or expansion of search, or something that summarizes multiple search results, or something that helps you find something. But clearly it's not / it's something too generic still.
