I'm genuinely dreading the day that Google takes away the search results and just replies with the AI prompt.
I know it's on the horizon, as soon as they can figure out how to get ad revenue from it properly.
Don't worry, you just have to wait for them to take what they already did and switch it to the default.
I'm sure it won't be long now 😔
Edit: As for revenue, considering one of their examples was how it could book tickets for you at sporting events, I have a feeling this might just shift the internet from more of an ad-based business model to a referral/commission-based one instead.
Ugh. Deeply depressing.
I have found it easier to find good search results for more complex queries using Gemini. Google search quality has declined significantly over the last decade.
