This is the Google search overview AI. It just reads the top results and summarizes them together. You don't directly prompt it, it's already prompted to just do that. The problem with that arrangement, as demonstrated here, is it will confidently and non-critically summarize parody, idiotic rambling, intentional misinformation and any other sort of nonsense that the search algorithm pulls up.
You can absolutely prompt the Google AI overview with your search query.
Huh, never tried it, and never done it by accident that I noticed. Makes sense though. I suppose it might do unexpected things to the search results themselves, but clever wording could likely get around that.
