But Google made around $20B profit on Google search in 2025 Q4, and that includes AI search.
Until the day comes that they properly break out the financials you, nor the other poster have any idea as to what the numbers are.
And if AI was making lots of money they’d break it out and proudly display it in their financials on its own.
