I dunno about all that. It sort of depends on what/where/why/how this AI ChatBox gets its data. If it uses Google algorithms, Google will serve the results. If it uses Wikipedia or Yelp or just about any user-created content, it can be thoroughly manipulated. I mean it has to get its data from somewhere to start with. Either way, someone is going to get paid for that type of content delivery. It is entirely possible Google will lose a lot of revenues.

I understand this thing, AI in general, could get very advanced and do a lot more than just routine mundane search/result type things. But someone is going to make money and generate power from it that much is certain.

The AI will do whatever it is programmed to do. It might even filter out everything except the top advertisers. Basically, google algorithms given steroids.

There’s no reason to limit an AI to Google searches. It would most likely use all the search engines, and as well crawl the web with its own engine.

Not just text but maps and especially photo interpretation. I can tell a lot about you from the satellite images of your house and neighborhood, but an AI would be able to make much richer and more detailed inferences than I.
