Don’t worry. I have 100% faith that they will make it as shitty as possible. The thing is - if Google didn’t have Gemini, they would lose a lot more traffic.
They removed this motto tho.
Don’t be google.
It’s fully plausible that they would have lost a large part of this lost search usage to products like ChatGPT, and that their Gemini play merely defends this market share.
It’s clearly a problem for them that they can’t monetize it properly, though.
There’s also a certain amount of people abandoning google search due to shoving ai into everything.
I abandoned Google search not due to AI, but simply because it has been terrible for years now. I’m happy to pay for Kagi. Search is a major part of my work. google search plain sucks now
There are certainly some people, but I doubt it’s actually a material number of people
I’ve noticed they shut off the automatic AI overview on a lot of searches now. It’s still there and comes up, but not as the automatic first thing on the page most of the time.
