Curated answers are not the same sort of answer I am talking about. In no way are answers generated by openAI really curated ( barring some political drama ).
Google understands that people want answers, and thus why they implemented answers.
A big problem for Google is I don’t think their revenue model works well with actual answers. Nobody cares about going to the site any more. In fact I am sure there were many talks internally at Google limiting what sort of answers they do provide that would result in less clicks on links.
Ad driven search as we know it is dead. For pay chat bots have a good chance of replacing ad driven speech.
SEO is effectively dead with AI chat system, thus again putting googles future in jeopardy.
Googles executives need to decide if they are going to be blockbuster, Redbox or Netflix, time is running out.
