The case is essentially seeking to put “AI powered search” on trial.
It’s long been established that one can link to other content and even provide short excerpts of what one might find on the other page. Essentially classic Google search. But when you pull so much content from the source and give the answer to the user without ever sending the user to the original content at some point one crossed the line from “fair use” to just theft.
By extension AI search is destroying the typical online advertising model, which is stacking up an every growing list of powerful companies now ready for a fight to resolve this.
