The part I still don't understand is a large portion of the internet monetizes traffic via Google Adsense. By replacing search with a chatbot, thereby encouraging people not to visit websites, they're cannibalizing their own revenue sources in a way that they'll never be able to recoup with AI. Not really sure what Google's endgame is here.
