As opposed to Googling, which will

1. leverage the AI Overview model (with the IQ of a brain-damaged monkey),

2. run an ad auction and populate the first 6-10 items from that,

3. then do a perfunctory exercise of searching its spam-riddled index to round out a few results at the very bottom of the page.

Yeah, that guy asking ChatGPT is a monster.

You forgot to mention all the well-documented ad auction fraud that came out during the anti-trust trial (they defraud advertisers and sites and do some shady stuff to users —- on every impression).
