You can still display ads. My bet would be that they equally have not figured out how to make it reliable.

- xiphias2 4y agoEmbedding ads is much more natural than displaying them. I don't think Google will allow you to know what part is payed, just like how product search moved to ads-only.
- nradov 4y agoGoogle search isn't reliable either. Most of the results I get are either irrelevant or at least partly wrong (occasionally outright misinformation). But it's clear that the content comes from third parties without endorsement by Google so advertisers and users mostly accept it. When Google deploys a large language model to directly synthesize content it will carry a greater reputational risk for them and their advertisers. What happens when an ad appears next to an AI answer that could be construed as racist or promoting medical misinformation? The legacy media already hates big tech and will spin it as a "gotcha" moment.
