    That doesn’t make any sense. This is really gonna hurt google, and if they were doing it to cash out, they’d have a premium search service for people to pay up for.

      It will potentially damage pagerank. But hey, Google just launched AI search, which is hated because it’s garbage and gives bad results.

      They can’t make the AI better, so they will make everything else worse.

        But how do they make money off of this? Do they start selling AI search with a better model?

          Google has a near monopoly and spends a lot of money to stay that way.

          They get money from ads that appear on pages.

          It’s also a company with many factions. Burning down search a little is bad For the company… but good for the AI people.
