@Viss so, since Google is offering AI summaries first on nearly every search, it is mostly the only thing I am using it for.

I think this effect will strongly bias their marketing data, until they are only servicing the 30% of the market that uses AI.

"But our Customers use our product this way..." Okay. I guess you found the new thing you are going to grow into. Good luck with that. Your dominance in the overall market was wearing thin anyway.

@Viss I use 2 search engines, sometimes a 3rd, because Google searches are biased towards things they can sell you, and away from modifying adjectives.

DDG image search is my default for information and shopping. I can scan multiple pages for relevance in seconds

Google is used for AI quick summaries of things I already know, because I can spot the BS I need to discard while confirming something else. Also spell checking, ironically because Android spell check has gotten harder to use.
