Ah, classic damned if you, damned if you don't.

Search is being ruined by the pursuit of maximizing ad revenue but AI research is being wasted because it's not used in pursuit of maximizing revenue. Can't really win, huh? There should be nothing but gratitude that Google uses its ad revenue to pay for research that greatly benefits everyone.
