Just because I spared Google from this comic a few weeks ago, doesn’t mean they’re not also trying to shove A.I. down our throats. At Google’s most recent circle jerk, they announced they’d be forcing the frequently incorrect A.I. overviews everyone hates into more of their products, including Search, which built its empire on a clean search that worked when other search engines were filled with clutter and junk.
That’s now the entire business model for everything online, as companies look for ways to get users to pay rent for their increasingly deteriorating products. Nearly 30 years of dominance in search that led “Google” to become a verb, was flushed down the toilet of A.I. It’s almost surprising they didn’t self-immolate during NFTs or the crypto hype cycle.
