Hardly. Google is at the frontier of these developments, and has enough resources to be a market leader. Trillion-dollar corporations have the best chances of reaping the benefits of this technology.

Besides, these tools can't be relied on as a source of factual information. Filtering spam and junk from web search results requires the same critical thinking as filtering LLM hallucinations and biases. The worst of both worlds is when "agents" summarize junk from the web.
