Google search - time to find a real search engine

"Instead of connecting people to the broader web, Google's AI will now do the reading and researching for them, summarizing websites, videos and social media posts into "overviews" that include everything they need to know on any given topic."

https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2024/05/14/google-io-announcements-2024/

 

And what decided what you need to know?  Totalitarianism never looked so slick.   Is Ebay also using this search method now?  That might explain why Ebay is changing my actual search AFTER i hit enter.

If this was totalitarianism, the government would control Google and there would be not another search engine for you to use.

eBay has been changing searches after you hit inter for about a decade, and it has nothing to do with Google using AI to summarize websites.
