Everyone knows this isn't good. The reason there's a web for Google's Gemini AI to summarize is that Google - the thrice-convicted monopoly search company with a 90% market share - directs people to websites, and when you visit a website, you generate revenue for the site, which pays for its maintenance. Most commonly, you generate an "ad impression," but you might also buy a subscription, or generate an "affiliate fee" by purchasing a recommended product.
