Google's new AI Search is a real redesign Google is calling its biggest in 25 years, and it does fundamentally change how search results appear — moving from links to AI-synthesized answers. This shift is already affecting web traffic and content creator visibility, with competing search engines like DuckDuckGo hitting record usage after Google's announcement. The core concern — that AI-generated answers reduce clicks to individual websites — is real and documented. Google does have dominant market share in search (often estimated around or above 90% in many markets), which is why regulators including the U.S. DOJ and the EU have pursued antitrust cases. But calling it a "monopoly" and claiming AI Search is "killing" the open web goes beyond what we can say for certain right now. Those are speculative claims that go further than the evidence supports so far. The post uses emotional language (😡, 'ruining') that overstates the actual impact.
