But don’t worry! Google’s AI summaries will soon have ads!

dear fuck, pasting ads onto the part of Google search that’s already known to be unreliable and annoying at best seems like a terrible idea. for a laugh, let’s see if there’s any justification for this awful shit in the linked citation

Ads have always been an important part of consumers’ information journeys.

oh these people are on the expensive drugs huh

It's going to be so much worse than pasting ads if it ever actually works.

Rewriting the search results with LLMs let's you seamlessly mix the adverts into the text people are trying to read... That's why I need to sip a refreshing glass of coke zero(TM) when I'm contemplating the collapse of the internet into pure advertising drivel.
