There is no such thing as "AI".
But I appreciate the generated summaries of search results. Sometimes they miss the point of my search, but they're often quicker than searching through the webpage results.
I don't know why people get so mad about it.
The generative summaries have the potential to take clicks / visitors away from the sites they're from. I've seen reports of smaller sites being at risk of closing down as a result, and if there are no sites to summarise...
Because of rampant hallucinations, yet people taking them as gospel. Not to mention the energy cost for no real benefit
