Welllllll this isn't great.

Google Just Patented The End Of Your Website

"...a system that evaluates your company’s landing page in real time and, if it decides the page won’t perform well enough for a specific user, replaces it with an AI-generated version assembled on the fly. The user never sees what your team built, they see what Google's machine learning model thinks they should see instead."

Google Just Patented The End Of Your Website

A newly granted Google patent could let the search giant replace your brand's landing page with an AI-generated version you have no control over and only your buyers see.

@SteveRudolfi I'm sure this will be completely "voluntary." Of course, if you don't "volunteer", your website will probably be de-listed entirely. They will still probably scrape its contents tho.

Personally, I could give a shit if my site shows up in a Google search. I'm not selling anything, so that's easy for me to say.
