Google unleashes AI in search, raising hopes for better results and fears about less web traffic

Just been forced to watch Google's AI presentation, worse way to spend 15 minutes of my time ever. I am a logic controls engineer, I have no idea why my dinosaur boss thinks I need AI.

Looks, sounds, quack, likes any other current google practices, full of smokes and mirrors, nothing for me, all for google, dread the day when I will be forced to sign away all my personal info just to use their services.

Bring back real searches! Nothing compares to the early days when you could actually find good unfiltered information.

I have a feeling that AI will take over ALL search inquiries within a few years.

How does their second attempt rate on the woke meter? It is an important question because that is why their first attempt became a laughing stock.
