Comment on Is Google about to destroy the web?

Google disagrees. In fact, the company tells the BBC that AI Overviews have been good for the web, and AI Mode will be no different. Google insists these features send users to “a greater diversity of websites” and the traffic is “higher quality” because people spend more time on the links they click.

However, the company hasn’t provided data to back up these claims.

This is how we know they are lying.

Google disagrees. In fact, the company tells the BBC “Trust us, bro.”

Non-AI summary.

More time is such a useless metric for the end user.

  I could spend a lot of time sifting through ads, nag screens and bullshit to find the actual detail I want on a webpage.

    Or validating source, making sure it isn’t AI content which usually regurgitates the same talking points. Homogenizing the entire query and removing actual information variance of personal experience.
