Google is moving to quickly kill internet search and replace it with a closed ecosystem of LLM-generated answers. This will change the entire economics of how the internet works.

Welcome to the future, where asking a question costs $4.99 and you’ll never be able to find out if the answer is right or not.

    I am asking my local searxng. As long as websites produce content there will be search robot that will crawl them, doesn’t matter if it’s google or common crawl dump. The content will be scrapped and indexed and you will be able to chose from where to find it. Google just relies on users that are locked in their freemium services. If they can force users to pay the users will pay for search. Fortunately for me I am not one of them. Good luck.
