Really? As shitty as Google can be these days, I and many others should prefer using a heavily redacted, controlled, essentially censored AI filter that gives me its results as a summary of what it got from the content that search engines often use anyhow, but with the possibility for random hallucinations right in the summary, and simply refusing to answer certain questions on what some corporate PR drones deemed "controversial" subject matter?
No thanks. Google may suck but at least it and similar platforms can lead me to random interesting links like Reddit and forum threads where actual humans give their human input on X or Y regardless of its nature.
Don't forget that narratives or advertising can also be added to that opaque output without disclosure. And that what can be exploited for profit inevitably will be.
