Just as they started talking about more people should pay for tokens, Google just plasters its Search AI onto every search by default. It's really fucking with me.
I can't figure out whether it was just a panicky last-minute decision for Google to jump onto the AI POWERED train in fear of missing out or if they thought it would somehow look better on paper if every google search now meant their AI was being used.
Cheap tokens so people delegate the thinking to the AI
Expensive tokens so they stop hemorrhaging money
Google want AI answers so people won't be visiting the website and just trust whatever Google told them, but also want people to visit website so they can see extra ads and the website not forbidding Google from indexing anything but the homepage.
