That doesn't matter. The reason people are using Google in the first place is because it has access to data from many sites, not their own only. If Google tomorrow removed all websites they don't own from the search index, nobody would use Google. It would be useless.
- sigmoid10 4mo agoThat was only true before AI overview. Now all that info they scraped from public websites and fed into their models will still be available without anyone ever leaving Google's services.
- victorbjorklund 4mo agoWell that is obviously not true. They need to have the index in order to serve up AI. And it's not 100% of all of the searches that are done without any search results. Remember also that the fact that there is an AI response on a particular search does not mean that it's enough. People might still click on a link. There is a reason why Google has chosen not to remove fully their search product and replace it with only an AI bot.
