Besides money/capitalism, why are tech companies trying to push AI text generators over search engines? - lemm.ee

They’re two different tools with different purposes, so why treat one like it can replace the other?

Every single answer in this thread just boils down to money.
The confusing part to me is Google pushing AI summaries would logically reduce traffic to the sites where they have Google Ads and impact the majority of their revenue. Unless AI has figured out how to cheaply turn lead into gold this seems like a bubble that will need to pop, for Google at least.
