In an unexpected move that has already stirred heated debate, Google rolled out its brand-new “AI Mode” directly on its iconic homepage Doodle just one hour ago. This experimental launch, which appeared overnight for millions of users across the globe, is part of Google’s bold push to make artificial intelligence accessible to everyone — whether they asked for it or not. But not everyone is clapping. Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, known for his vocal opinions on AI ethics and big tech overreach, did not waste time before weighing in on what he calls a reckless gamble with people’s data and digital autonomy.

Eyewitness reports and social media posts show that the AI Mode Doodle appeared without prior warning for many users, featuring an animated icon that invites users to “switch on AI Mode” and instantly generate answers, art, summaries, or even entire emails with a single click. Within minutes, the hashtags #AIMode and #GoogleDoodleAI were trending worldwide. While Google’s press team described it as a “playful preview” of how AI could streamline everyday tasks, critics argue that the abrupt rollout turned unsuspecting users into guinea pigs for untested algorithms.

Elon Musk took to X (formerly Twitter) almost immediately, posting, “Turning the world’s largest search engine into an unregulated AI sandbox overnight is insanity. Who asked for this?” He then warned that Google is blurring the lines between helpful innovation and manipulative data harvesting. Musk, who has previously called for pauses in AI development and even co-founded OpenAI before parting ways, went as far as to suggest that users disable the feature until more safeguards are put in place.

Inside sources claim that Google’s internal teams were under immense pressure to launch something big before their annual developer conference next month. Some engineers who chose to remain anonymous told tech reporters that they had concerns about the feature’s readiness, but management overruled them in favor of what they call “competitive necessity” — a thinly veiled reference to the intensifying AI arms race between Google, Microsoft, Meta, and Elon Musk’s own xAI startup.

Users’ reactions are split. Some early adopters praised AI Mode for its convenience, saying it instantly helped them draft work emails or find information faster than traditional search ever could. Others, however, shared screenshots of awkward AI blunders, including made-up facts and fabricated quotes. Privacy advocates are even more concerned: several digital rights groups have called for a full audit of how Google’s AI Mode handles personal data entered by unsuspecting users.

In response to the backlash, Google published a short statement claiming that AI Mode is “entirely optional” and that no user data will be stored without consent. They also emphasized that feedback from this “Doodle experiment” will help improve future releases. Still, critics like Musk argue that when billions of people rely on Google’s homepage every day, “optional” can quickly become a default for the less tech-savvy, who may click through prompts without understanding the implications.

The debate has reached Washington too. A spokesperson for the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Privacy and Technology said they are monitoring the situation closely and may call for hearings if evidence emerges that Google overstepped ethical or legal boundaries. Meanwhile, Musk doubled down on his challenge, telling his followers that if Big Tech doesn’t rein in runaway AI deployment, “someone else will — or it’ll be too late.”

Industry analysts say the stakes couldn’t be higher. Google has dominated online search for over two decades, but its crown is now threatened by an AI gold rush that could redefine how information is created, found, and controlled. Rivals like Microsoft, with its integration of ChatGPT into Bing, and Elon Musk’s ambitions to build AI that aligns with what he calls “human values,” have pushed Google into a corner where moving too slowly could be fatal — but moving too fast might be even worse.

As the dust settles, one thing is clear: AI Mode is here, whether the world is ready or not. And with Elon Musk fanning the flames, the war for the future of search — and the soul of the internet — is only just beginning.
