Google is testing a blue "Send" button in the search query box on its home page. When you type in your query, you can click "Send" to search Google for that query.

Clicking "Send" take you to Google Search results and not into AI Mode.
Here is a screenshot:
Here is what I see in all browsers:

Update: A second parson is seeing this now, Khushal Bherwani:
