One older traditional search bar. A 2nd AI chat interface for people who want AI.
I seriously can't believe how simple the solution is, but how much Google refuses to do it. AI search is a totally different product, just make a new tab like Google Images, Google News or Google Finance. Make it Google AI or Google Gemini.
