How much does it cost to run a GenAI query? There's lots of investment money flowing into this right now, and companies seem to be using the classic "lose money until you gain market dominance" approach, but I wonder whether it's really sustainable in the long-term.

They haven’t figured out how to monetize bard yet without pommeling their original search, so they are in a tight bind

People are getting synthesized answers from LLMs that replace googling, filtering, and skimming for the info you need. Unless I misunderstand your question.

If you are okay with made-up answers, then you don't even need to use Google to begin with.

Made-up answers are also a lot of the google search results.
