WTF is going to happen to Google's ad revenue if every PC has an AI that can perform searches on the user's behalf? | ||

How is that any different than someone installing an ad blocker in their browser? Arguably ad blocker is much simpler technology than running a local LLM and has been available for years now. And yet Google’s ad revenue seems to have remained unaffected. | ||

They can always pivot to their Search-via-API business :) It takes lots of servers to build a search engine index, and there’s nothing to indicate that this will change in the near future. | ||

There are millions of websites, and a local LLM cannot scrape all of them to make sense of them. Think about it. OpenAI can do it because they spend millions to train its systems. Many sites have hidden sitemaps that cannot be found unless submitted to google directly. (Not even listed in robots txt most of the time). There is no way a local LLM can keep up with up to date internet. | ||
