Once this is live globally, SEO will be effectively dead for most publishers.
Look how much space this new tab takes. The entire above the fold will be gone. Who's going to scroll down to manually check search results? 95% of people will quickly switch to this more efficient, interactive, and most importantly, lazier way to get information.
Barring some exceptions, Internet publishers are F*cked. Google will scrape all the content for its AI and get all the money and traffic. Even if they show some sources, who's going to care enough to click if they got their answer?
I'm curious how it's going to affect the quality of information online. As a web publisher, why would I keep writing new content only for it to be stolen by Google without giving me anything in return?
