Searching with AI is akin to asking a smart friend information, and they give you the info they want to share. It's fast food info.
Searching without AI is akin to visiting the library and reading, where you do the work and learn what you want. It's the slow cooked meal.

To each their own meal choice.

 

I aggree. It is important to keep in mind that a fast cooked meal is not equal to unhealthy and the other way around. So choosing the proper meal is an important task.

We live in a century of zero accountability. Any law making body of any country that makes people and corporations more accountable for their choices and actions is a win for everyone in my book, no matter how small.

If someone came in and robbed your home and they were sent by a corporation to do it claiming some protective ordinance, most people would feel violated in almost every way. Curtailing people and corporations choices to where they cannot turn around and say: "I was ordered to" or "I am protected and not saying I did anything"(When they did) I believe benefits everyone.
There's enough disinformation, misinformation and crap in the world. Curtailing it to reiterate, should never be considered a bad thing. Nobody wants to go through their life with the wrong information being told it is right.

I see this as a judge holding them to account for their own choices. That is the focus from where I sit.

 

AFAIK, these are the two (biggest) legit concerns about Google shoving AI in its search engine. Two fellow users already explained them well, I'm only quoting the parts I've heard about:

Same here bro. Too much AI shit lately
As a personal disclaimer I found useful sometimes searching through AI. But I don't like it mandatorily shoved in the "classic" google search. When I want AI I go straight to Google Gemini, aware of the pros and cons. Separation, please.
