Ads have become so deeply embedded into search results that even Google now can no longer tell the difference between them!?!?
Comment on Google Is Stuffing Annoying Ads Into Its Terrible AI Search Feature

AI as far as big tech is concerned is simply a way to “fix” search engines so that they dont do the awful crime of segregating ads from search results.
it is literally the whole damn point of shoving AI down everybodies throat…

To be fair, it didn’t start out that way. A lot of tech companies just didn’t want to be seen as being behind while OpenAI was making shockwaves around the globe. Iirc, after ChatGPT hit the mainstream a couple years ago, Google’s CEO was said to have sent a company-wide email demanding their own AI research become their number 1 priority.
Now that they finally have their own competitive model, they have to justify why they spent hundreds of millions of dollars over numerous years on this tech. Unfortunately for the rest of us, this just means enshittification will reach new levels… sigh…
