what is their endgame here?

putting the ads directly in their AIs

>>105998401 (OP)
Wanting to look cool before AGI inevitably kills them.

>>105998450
fpbp. people already take AI responses uncritically. AI could just shill and herd people into advertisers.

>>105998450
This, but instead of ads, its propaganda.

You don't use the internet to communicate with others anymore, but instead only via a government controlled chatbot.

OP, ads are for selling products. You cant buy products through AI summary (And wont for the foreseeable future). For searches doing research and asking questions, almost no-one buys ads (It's too expensive, since those sites themselves are ad-funded).

They are trying to kill the wider internet, except their cash cows that are buying ads.

Also this. Instead of review sites being shills for say apple or samsung, they'll now take the bribe directly.

i guess, ai itself an ad, like ai overview used by millions > money for overview sponsorship > normalize > state agenda pushes > decentralized internet now get stuck by their centralized ai.

I doubt Google and Microsoft make most of their money out of ads

Wikipedia will probably the most hit over time. People generate ai articles now without having to worry about notability or a source being on a Wikipedian's personal blacklist. Many top admins are already leaving this year because vandals got bored of Wikipedia and now there is no one to revert.

Sam Altman's Wikipedia article isn't even semi protected and he is basically the Jimbo Wales of AI.

You are so wrong. If anything the wikiniggers will double down even more. Their entire thing is they think they are saving the world, and now AI Bad, Wiki Propaganda Good will give them the motivation to continue for the next 15 years.

Ads above and below, beside and inside the chatbot. Affiliate links. Selling your profile, likely purchases, etc. And if you want the good model without ads you'll pay for it directly or buy a phone with it.

It is not about money anon.
It is about data.
The more data they get from you, the faster they can train their AI God.

>>105998450
They already do, Gemini will recommend the pixel 9 phone if you ask for a recommendation for a flagship. Granted, they're not wrong, and they do list the Samsung flagship as an equally relevant choice. But if you make the AI pick 1 phone, it picks Pixel.

>>105998401 (OP)
The endgame is thoughcontrol. If they people don't question the AI then they have the "experts". The next step would be the enshittification of AI which is the adding ads and marketing to abuse the user base. Once AI just skips over the "do your own research" part for buying products, it's all but sewn up. Right now it's in the building trust phase, but as previous comments pointed out, they are already testing this enshittification in small doses. Voting with your wallet becomes impossible when your only source is biased by marketing money.

How much energy is used to generate AI overviews for every search?

I asked Gemini what phone it would pick:
>Pixel 10 Pro
>S25 Ultra
>iPhone 16 Pro Max
>Fold 7
In that order.

The 10 Pro isn't out yet so I asked it to tell me more and it spat out the still unreleased tech specs to me ...

That's one way to leak things, GG well done Google.

You are correct for Microsoft (cloud services/Azure and MS Office licenses are their big money makers), but for Google, yes the bulk of their money is coming from selling advertising.

>>106001040
Post or it didn't happen

>>106003318
I Gemini 2.5 Pro to use Google's internal databases to compare the Pixel 10 and Pixel 10 Pro, and it shat out this response.

>>106003651
you know that ai just makes shit up, yes?

my ai just advertised a samsung tv to me

>>106003651
Yeah that looks like bullshit lol

The funny thing is how how we can increasingly apply antropomorphic thinking to AI.
For this reason I propose the "can it keep its story straight?" test.

Ask the same question with small variations. Same specs? Probably real. Specs all over the place? Hallucination.

They really need to fix the model so it doesn't look like she has a big underbite.

What's the point of this cunt? She's bloody boring and keeps saying the same shit every sentence before answering.

>>106003651
Hah. Just when people were starting to figure computers out they've been absolutely kneecapped with LLMs.

I really thought it would go the other way. Just because of your post here I'm covering my Apple shorts. Normies are hopeless.

You mean people don't click the cancerous gay gangrenous SEO spam anymore? SAAAAAAR!!

This is a GOOD thing! I want all SEO cunts to rope themselves for what they did to us for almost 2 decades

tri-LATERATION, you retard

>>106007649
Thanks for the correction nigger.

who needs ad money when daddy trump and his gang of misfits are funneling 50% of your taxes into ai development?

>>106007663
it's been a while since I've seen the guro classic
thanks gore bro!

>>105998401 (OP)
they have to show constant growth or their stocks will stop being seen as "growth stocks" and start being seen as "mature", at which point they'll be severely overvalued and face a correction. this is common with tech companies and is why everyone's going all-in on AI: you can show that the AI part of your company is growing, so you've not hit maturity yet and investors should keep throwing money at you.

when the DOJ sued google their internal emails revealed that they intentionally made google search worse so people would have to search more frequently to find what they were looking for, because they have to show continued search growth, but they already more-or-less have a monopoly on search so they couldn't grow any more by finding new users. the only option was to make existing users search more, but if search works correctly you should find exactly what you want on the first search, so they had to break search...
