To be honest I find this a deeply worrying trend. Google continues to move from "curating the worlds information" to "providing the worlds information". This is another step towards not only obscuring where information comes from (has Google scraped it off other sites and is presenting it as its own) but actively diminishing the likelihood of people looking at multiple sources. It's very impressive, appealing and useful but I'm afraid it makes the world even more narrow.

Oh look, Google stealing people's content and providing the answers right in their results while making tons of money. Thanks, I really appreciated it!

Wow, this really creates an opening for an actual search engine from someone else to emerge.

Ok, now Google AI have the content from multiple sites that runs ads to live.

If the user will not enter the site because Google will just "take" what it needs from it, that site owner will stop making content, because no visits = no money.

In the future, how AI will get the content from, if majority of the content creators will stop creating content?

Or we will read just what Google wants?

Yesterday it showed me a recap of what I wrote on one of my articles. It prides it to link to the website. Too bad the link wasn't working. All my 12 years of writing CORRECT info from a local, thrown to the bin. My website who gave photos of me trying things in real life now is gone. Congratulations Google for destroying countless years of hard work for a lot of honest content creators!! I hope there will be a lawsuit against this.

Cool, now where is the website I was searching for? Have to scroll down to the end?…. lol

[NoOnesIdea]

So instead of searching, it will generate answers? Even if those in many cases are incorrect, which was proved many times before?

Remember when Google was good? I miss those days.

did google really suggest that the photographer should open the door and EXPOSE THE FILM????

[kirtandreamrezzer]

Google is seriously affecting every blogger and content creator. Many have given up and gotten "real jobs." AI is amazing, but it is appropriating all content and Google is not paying the creators of the content. 😮😢

It will not find answer for my question, it will find what the advertisers want to sell me

“One Reddit user suggested jumping off the Golden Gate Bridge” Cool, google.

The Microsoft copilot is really amazing.

Interested to see how Googles largest cash cow will be monetised in this new era

[CrazyChemistPL]

All I need is a basic search engine. It really doesn't have to be more than that.

1:39 a huge part of what AI progress has been attributed to companies, while independent innovators were those who built the protocols. Discovered them. And have been unrecognized. TIL now !!

saw similar announcement on I/O 2023...

I'm sorry, but this violates the first law of meal prep: a meal cannot be cheap, quick and healthy at the same time, you have to give up at least one.

It is very useful to see what Google is gonna access Gemini era. 😊
