It gets even better. The trillion dollar chatbot is not only killing the basis for search but its very own as well: All those content creators, small ones, large ones, commercial ones. They all are dying because of it, yet the chatbot needs constant feeding to stay alive, and will poison itself if fed on its own content. ... This will be fun.

What you're describing is cancer. Takes nutrition from neighbouring cells to grow infinitely ultimately destroying its own host. Kind of like AI and their constant need for water, energy, land and human data.

I was born to be evil. I'm a member of the Bar Sinister AND I was born on a dark Halloween night. My mother always told me I kept her up all night when I was born.
Oh, none of these companies make money! They parasite off from governments practicing free market "Liberalism" giving them cash and contracts and they do pump and dump stock trading schemes to get good valuations, big investments and big bank loans then just time the accruing and dispersal of their debts carefully.
At some point the investments and saving accounts just start self-reproducing money because we don't have an economy that expects organizations to have a trillion dollars... So it's for practical purposes an infinite money glitch.
They don't make money they just acquire enough of it that the money starts reproducing.
if you believe in healthy capitalism, every billionaire needs to be killed in brutal public ways.
if you don't believe in capitalism every billionaire needs to be killed and you probably have some anger you want to work out on them.

I don't run into or use much AI, but Gemini seems to be the worst I encounter. It does pretty well at presenting facts and summations, but I've found it wrong enough times to be leary.

It's temporary. They'll start shutting down the non-AI alternatives soon enough and there will be grumbling, but people will fall in line like they always do. This is a minor hit. It's them mentioning that people aren't feeding enough into the dumpster fire, but they're simultaneously sealing off more and more exits.
Their search results have been unusable for years.
Money is only a means to power. If they get the power through other means, them losing money indicates nothing about their success.
