Absolutely. Google has shown the courage to admit that their bread and butter business is changing permanently. they are adapting which the large cos rarely do.

My mother never used search. She found it too hard to manage. She uses Gemini all the time, it gives answers in her language and she does not need to type. She is incredibly happy.

My daughter talks to Gemini. The idea of going through links seems primitive to her.

The future of interface is chat/talking not going through clickbait.

I think schools should have some basic control on how kids can use AI but saying that they want to freeze the learning experience in 2020 is simply not right. It is like saying we wont allow whiteboards and markers.

Google shouldn't be making that choice for everyone.

It's an effective monopoly.

Even worse, it's not even Google's doing.

People just really, really, really hate paying for stuff. Hell Google even lets you continue to use their services even if you block their ads. They're that generous, err, evil.

Google wasn't exactly losing money with search results before.

If anything they're losing far more money with AI.

Something I keep saying, AI people have a problem with consent.

They refuse to understand that people could value different things than them, things like "understanding", "effort", "knowledge".

The question we need to be asking is does AI enhance or help learning?

NOT “do kids use AI?”

NOT “do professionals use AI?”

And not whatever other question we can conjure up. At the end of the day, if AI makes learning worse, then it doesn’t fucking matter how ubiquitous or awesome or cool it is. Because we’re sacrificing other skills that WE KNOW and have established that we need.
