What a disgusting use of technology. Kicking a query to an agent, that's leveraging a model that has bulk of humanities information in it, so it can use a web browser to go looking for the thing you searched. WTF.

You forgot to mention all the well-documented ad auction fraud that came out during the anti-trust trial (they defraud advertisers and sites and do some shady stuff to users —- on every impression).
1. leverage the AI Overview model (with the IQ of a brain-damaged monkey),
2. run an ad auction and populate the first 6-10 items from that,
3. then do a perfunctory exercise of searching its spam-riddled index to round out a few results at the very bottom of the page.
Yeah, that guy asking ChatGPT is a monster.
