New AI Shimmer Added to Google Searched Photos??? What???

This has nothing to do with Crypto but I just had to share. And maybe I'm behind but have you seen this new shimmer added to searched images? I wasn't sure if it's through Google or from the Android update my S22+ just did. Let me know if you've seen this and your thoughts.

Why hasn't google commented on why they do it?

I'm honestly afraid that, if Google keeps forcing changes on me that I can't disable, that I'll end up becoming the technology-hating senile person that I'm trying hard not to become.

Any idea how to disable this crap?

Why is it doing it

Just noticed a couple of weeks ago. Sparked a discussion with my wife and decided to Google. Came across your video. Please let me know if you find answers.

I'm glad I'm not the only one curious about this. Come to find out: The shimmer means Google Lens thinks it has identified an object and brings up products you can buy or get more info on. I checked a few images showing a shimmer across glasses or jackets and when I tap on the image a white dot (or dots if their are multiple shimmers) appears. Clicking on that dot brings up alternate images with that item for sale elsewhere. Long pressing an image with no shimmer doesn't bring up Lens and doesn't bring up products. Crazy. Basically an AI feature I guess.

It's pointless and absolutely annoying...
