Google’s vision for the future of search shows how generative AI is all about increasing corporate power.

Instead of sending you to different websites, Google has scraped the open web to generate plagiarized answers to keep you looking at ads on Google. We need to stop being distracted by AI hype and fantasies about intelligent machines, so we can push back on the real threats before it’s too late.

@parismarx I think that's become the MO for sites since they started prioritizing time spent on the site instead of page visits. Isn't this also exactly why news sites are always at war with fb and Twitter? Because their articles can be read on those sites, they don't get ad money for page visits because people aren't being redirected to them anymore.
