#2The issue really is that the AI isn’t good enough that people actually want it and are willing to pay for it.
It’s like IPV6, if it really was a huge benefit to the end user, we’d have adopted it already.

#3I mostly agree with TFA, with one glaring exception: The quality of Google search results has regressed so badly in the past years (played by SEO experts), that AI was actually a welcome improvement.

I think it was just Google that got bad.
I use Kagi who returns excellent results, also when I need non AI verbatim queries.

It didn't get bad for no reason.
It needs to be bad for ads to continue to be profitable.
Displaying what you searched for immediately is cannibalizing that market.
I'm guessing ads in AI results is the logical next step.

Proof by counterexample: I want this.
