Google's play on Search, Ads and AI feels obvious to me.

• They know search is broken.
• And that people use AI in part because it takes the ads and SEO crap out.
• IE, AI is now what Google was in 2000. A simple window onto the internet.
• Ads/SEO profits will fall with AI.
• But Google will then just insert shit into AI "answers" for money.
• Ads managed + up-to-date AI will be their new mote and golden goose.
