It's interesting that the current AI revolution began with transformers that came out of Google who was trying to apply AI to search, and now that seems to be the an unpopular use for it. I think it's one of the better use cases for it. It's great at compressing knowledge and if it can search the web and summarize things I don't see much of a downside. As far as making a profit, I don't see why they wouldn't charge a small amount for it, and that way they're not shoving everyone to use it.
