This podcast episode explores the evolution of Google from a search engine to an answer engine, where it aims to provide direct answers to user queries. However, this shift raises concerns about potential plagiarism and the accuracy of the generated summaries. The use of generative AI in search answers may compromise the reliability of information, especially when relying on social media comments. Despite these concerns, Google continues to invest heavily in AI technology to stay competitive. While AI technology provides benefits for users by summarizing information, it also raises questions about the impact on businesses and the overall quality of information on the internet.
