My story on the end of Google Search as we know it, what one source called "a change in the world order." www.wired.com/story/…

Here's our analysis of all the big announcements at #googleio: Google is infusing its mainstream Search product with generative AI for everyone in the US by the end of this week. This is a monumental shift in what it means "to Google." with @byjulialove www.bloomberg.com/ne…

Coming soon, we’ll bring new multi-step reasoning capabilities to Google Search. It breaks your bigger question down into parts and figures out which problems to solve and in what order, so research that might've taken you minutes or even hours can be done in seconds. #GoogleIO

Publishers are right to be spooked about Google’s plans to incorporate AI into its search results, @kevinroose writes. “The grand bargain on which Google’s relationship with the open web rests — you give us articles, we give you traffic — could fall apart.”nyti.ms/3wLCjEW

Google parent Alphabet showed how it is building on AI across its businesses, including a beefed-up Gemini chatbot and improvements to search, as it faces growing competition from OpenAI and other rivals reut.rs/3WZM79p

Circle to Search #GoogleIO

Google announced today at I/O that Gemini could search email and use it in interactions... which sounds very useful and a real advantage for Google. Except it doesn't work! It failed a VERY simple query (finding an air itinerary) ⬇️ frustrating - I want Google to be good!

OpenAI has hired Shivakumar Venkataraman, a 21-year Google veteran who previously led the company’s search ads business. The move comes as OpenAI develops a search engine that would compete with Google’s core product, as we first reported in February. www.theinformation.c…

Google rolled out a retooled search engine that will frequently favor responses crafted by artificial intelligence over website links. trib.al/ald5Phw

Following I/O 2024, Google is highlighting several new Gen AI features for Search trib.al/QzkIDxh

Why there’s no a Search specific track in this Google I/O. Because AI is Search Expanded to every corner of the Alphabet universe.

The only responsible way to cover Google and OpenAI in particular is to treat them like politicians. The context behind every announcement today is that Google intends to replace regular search results with generative ones. They've looted the internet! www.wheresyoured.at/…
