    didn’t this happen already? the thing is generating AI responses instead of showing me the results first and then I’m not clicking on it because I’m a person

    it’s also de-listing a ton of websites and subpages of websites and continuing to scrape them with Gemini anyway

      Apple had to turn it off for their sunmary mode after backlash, even though the option always had the “these summaries are generated by AI and can be inaccurate” warnings placed prominently.

      Google doing this shit without warning or notice will get them in shit water. News portals and reporters are generally not too fond of their articles being completely misrepresented.

        it’s not just a matter of misrepresentation. it’s directing traffic away from the websites which are creating the content, maybe depriving them of every means that they have of monetizing it

          Well, the loss of traffic is a knock-on effect of the misrepresentation. So is the fact that every other portal will try to sling shit at the ones affected by it.
