This is specifically about the current shitty "AI Overview" that is currently and specifically pissing people off and Google essaying that as the only interface to search. (Sure they might not, but OTOH predicting future behaviour from past behaviour.)

That they did fucking terrible overviews in the past is not some sort of excuse for the current and specific issue with the current and specific AI Overviews.

wtf with calling hating this extremely hateworthy shit "uncanny-valley reactionism"
