Got a kick out of this earlier, thought others here probably would too.

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

I agree and so wonder how they can justify dropping so much money on something people don't want, expect for free, and burns through resources like crazy
Easy. Google doesn’t sell search. They sell ads and consumer data. The longer you spend searching, the more they make from both. The ideal scenario for them is to give search results that feel helpful enough that you keep coming back, but are actually so useless that you never find a link that takes you away from the search results for good.
There's even emails that are now public record due to a court case with the Department of Justice that confirm this!
Wonderful, but very long (and detailed) writeup here.
But I'm sure anal probing the entire world population would cost them less than running AI on ~~those probes~~ phones.
