Just tested a few searches on the top domain in a private window with no setting changes. It looks like some search terms invoke the AI and others don't, so that explains some differences people are seeing. I saw no change in behavior between desktop and mobile.

As someone who actually likes AI (local open models only though), I agree it needs to be off by default in all cases purely on the grounds of energy usage.
