Google Bard AI in Search

Sundar Pichai, on blog.google:

Soon, you’ll see AI-powered features in Search that distill complex information and multiple perspectives into easy-to-digest formats, so you can quickly understand the big picture and learn more from the web: whether that’s seeking out additional perspectives, like blogs from people who play both piano and guitar, or going deeper on a related topic, like steps to get started as a beginner. These new AI features will begin rolling out on Google Search soon.

I’m sure that Google has something that will blow our minds, but this announcement is corporate lorem ipsum placeholder. Something is far from ready and there’s nothing to show yet.

My bet? Google’s problem is how not to cannibalize its Ad business. And they haven’t figured it out yet.
