"By 2026, Google’s main product will not be search but AI."

You think this was a 50/50 coinflip statement in 2016?

I would say this statement is incorrect, and if I had to guess, it will be for the next 5 years. Google’s main product is ads, followed by search, gmail, and Google Docs suite, and Gemini is not on track to dethrone either any time soon.

Nah. way before that page/brin wanted to create ai (agi) long before that when google was started or in its infancy, but it seemed completely unbelievable (the kind of stuff elon musk would say)

I can't find the reference to it, but I remember them saying it in wired or similar.

It’s still search. They had an AI based search for quite some time. Now it spits out a summary.
