> This could be the tech that dislodges Google from its monopoly!
Google has been part of the arms race for this kind of AI from the beginning, so even if this kind of AI (alone or connected to other things) dislodges Google’s current model as an entry point for information queries, it may not dislodge Google from its position.
When Google simply began showing more data from indexed sites, it caused outrage because users wouldn’t visit & monetize. Here we have three guys who literally crawled the entire Internet into a black box to monetize.
So far we praise them for this like we praised Google, which thus makes me think they can in fact dislodge. Not sure I feel enthusiastic about it, however.
