If Google ends up winning in the AI war, search and ads will be significantly cannibalized, but it will have tremendous opportunities outside of search, many of them in areas that don't even exist yet.

In some ways, it might even be good. It's suffering from a kind of advertising resource curse nowadays, and being forced and able to diversify its economy would be best in the long term.

I'm not sure, it seems many companies have comparable technology at this point, and Google is not known for being great at packaging tech into products.

They had an enormous moat and edge in search, but not seeing it for this next wave of AI. Barrier to entry seems far lower
