It would be much more terrifying if search becomes a single voice with a single perspective that cites zero sources.

Today's search provides multiple results to choose from. They may not all be correct, but at least I can see multiple perspectives and make judgments about sources.

For all its faults, that's freedom.

One voice, one perspective, zero sources, with frequent fabrication and hallucination is the opposite of freedom.

Jesus, imagine the power of the owners of that? Whoever is the ‘new google’ of that will rule the world if it’s ad default as google is now.

Just those snippets are powerful enough!

Many thoughts. One voice. Many sources. One perspective. Chaos, turned into order.

We are the Borg. Resistance is futile.

Heh. That's the perfect name for an omnipresent SciFi macguffin. Search.

Search, do I have any new messages?

Even better than Control.
