We all know by now that this is only a temporary state so enjoy it while it lasts.
My worry with AI search as I’ve seen it work, is that since it gives you a single or narrow answer instead of a range of options to choose from per the normal search, you could get funneled to exactly the content the platform wants you to see, further removing control from the user and my irrational(?) fear is that the ads are effectively hidden because the content is the ad

Yep agreed with all of that but I think it costs too much per user to really have an ad based business model.
It’s probably both long term. Ads plus limits. “Buy Google AI Plus to talk to Gemini more.”
Only problem is nobody will pay for it, people don’t even want to use it for free.
