🔗 Google Continues To Destroy the News

Google Discover adds AI summaries, threatening publishers with further traffic declines | TechCrunch

As publishers fret about decreased traffic from Google, the search giant has begun rolling out AI summaries in Discover, the main news feed inside Google’s search app on iOS and Android. Now, instead of seeing a headline from a major publication, users will see multiple news publishers’ logos in the top-left corner, followed by an AI-generated summary that cites those sources.

Google relies on news publishers publishing news to steal, but eventually if they put enough of these companies out of business where do they get the news to scrape? I guess AI will just make it up.
