    I’ve noticed they shut off the automatic AI overview on a lot of searches now. It’s still there and comes up, but not as the automatic first thing on the page most of the time.

    It’s fully plausible that they would have lost a large part of this lost search usage to products like ChatGPT, and that their Gemini play merely defends this market share.

    It’s clearly a problem for them that they can’t monetize it properly, though.

      There’s also a certain amount of people abandoning google search due to shoving ai into everything.

        I abandoned Google search not due to AI, but simply because it has been terrible for years now. I’m happy to pay for Kagi. Search is a major part of my work. google search plain sucks now

    Don’t worry. I have 100% faith that they will make it as shitty as possible. The thing is - if Google didn’t have Gemini, they would lose a lot more traffic.
