How does AI Mode in Chrome actually work?

Chrome started showing me an AI Mode option in the address bar. Is that the same thing as Google's AI answers in search, and can I turn it off if I'd rather have normal results?

It's Google search with Gemini on top. Instead of a page of links you ask a full question and it runs a bunch of searches in the background, then writes one answer with the sources linked beside it. You can ask follow ups and it keeps the context, that's the main difference from a normal search. Still check the sources for anything that matters, it can get things wrong.
