Before search engines had their own browsers they were stand alone programs you paid for. Everyone was competing to build a better search engine. There were many search engine aggregators, some free some paid for.
This proliferation of ai by all these companies reminds me of those days. Paid for tools to maybe make something but more really about data collection to refine the master model.
Has anyone noticed that search engine functionality and diversity seems to be decreasing? It's impossible to miss that ai overview on every reach now.
Who thinks that search engines will be abandoned (slow death ) in favor of paid ai search services??? I don't believe that the companies will come out and say that the search engines are being made less functional but it feels like it's happening.
Imagine if they could get a bulk of paid subscribers to a "new and better" ai search....
Let me know what you all think.

Fortunately it doesn't work that way. It can't surveil everything you do, regardless of what the fear mongers say.
It only has access to what you allow it to.
