I mostly agree with TFA, with one glaring exception: The quality of Google search results has regressed so badly in the past years (played by SEO experts), that AI was actually a welcome improvement.

I use Kagi who returns excellent results, also when I need non AI verbatim queries.
Displaying what you searched for immediately is cannibalizing that market.
I'm guessing ads in AI results is the logical next step.
