Of course it will.
Not if I completely stop using Google search.
So you need an ad blocker for that, too?
No because you will be using duckduckgo or something else
Yes ublock origin can do that with simple script
The only scripts I’ve seen still leave a giant empty box at the top… Are there any that fix this too?
Why is Google determined to kill one of its cash cows? Cramming AI into search results feels like “New Coke”.
Google doesn’t have a choice. Consider how few in the younger audience actually use proper search engines. Heaven forbid, they ask their questions on TikTok. It’s a mighty gamble but without a doubt hesitation is failure now that AI is yet another competitor eating up the search space.
This is one thing I would love to actually see some data about, because I have never seen people not using search engines, no matter the age, but I see a lot of people on the internet claiming that younger people don’t use search engines anymore.
Sadly I don’t have such data. The best I have is anecdotal from teachers that I know.
I’ve seen this mentioned a few times before but never get how it works. How do you even use TikTok as a search engine?
Never used TikTok. I guess one searches “How to do X?” and shows tutorial videos each a mintue or so? Or “the Best birthday gifts” then a bunch of video trys to sell you the “best” gift? I have no idea.
Badly. You search for videos that match the form of a question. It’s not effective at all, but wildly popular according to my aunt who is a high school teacher.
The accessibility of technology has produced a generation of people who don’t understand how to use it in basic ways, but that’s another discussion.
There’s been ads in Google for over a decade now.
Google started introducing advertisements into its search engine in the year 2000. This was through the launch of the Google AdWords program.
Will they be AI ads
