These are the 100 most cited domains, along with their number of mentions.
The top domains cited in AI Mode are Wikipedia, YouTube, Google’s blog, Reddit, and Google itself.
With so many mentions of YouTube, their own blog, and themselves, AI Mode seems to be quite self-serving, at least at this point in time.
AI Mode also seems to prefer user-generated content (UGC), with sites like YouTube, Reddit, Quora, Instagram, Yelp, TripAdvisor, LinkedIn, TikTok, and more high on the list.
